TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL KEPOKT.
To the Board of Directors of Bryn Mawr College:
The President of the College respectfully submits the
following report for the twenty-second academic year of Bryn
Mawr College, from October 1, 1906, to September 30, 1907.
Important changes took place in the membership and
constitution of the governing boards of the college during
the year 1906-07.
The death of Mr. Thomas Scattergood of Philadelphia,
a member of the Board of Trustees and also of the Board of
Directors of Bryn Mawr College, occurred at Naples on the
18th of April, 1907, in the sixty-sixth year of his age.
Mr. Scattergood was elected a member of the Board of Trus-
tees in 1894, and a member of the Board of Directors in
1906, and from the time of his election in 1894 until his
death was an active member of the Einance Committee and
also of the Committee on Buildings and Grounds. Except
when prevented by illness, he was seldom, if ever, absent from
meetings of the board or of the committees on which he
served, and his sound judgment and wide financial experi-
ence were of great assistance to the college. His earnest in-
terest and valuable services will be deeply missed. The
memorial resolutions passed by the Board of Trustees and by
the Board of Directors will be found in Appendix XI of this
report.
Mr. Henry Tatnall of Philadelphia, who had been
elected a Trustee in 1894 and a member of the Board of
Directors in 1906, and had served the college as Treas-
urer since 1894, as a member of the Committee on Buildings
and Grounds since 1894, and as Chairman of the Committee
on Buildings and Grounds since 1904, resigned from both
boards in May, 1907, on account of pressure of other business.
His resignation was accepted with much regret.
At a meeting of the Trustees held October 19th, 1906,
11
the Board of Directors of the Trustees of Bryn Mawr Col-
lege was organised in accordance with the changes made in
the charter of the college in the preceding year, and the fol-
lowing sixteen Directors were elected to serve for the ensuing
year: Charles Hartshorne, David Scull, Albert K. Smiley,
Edward Bettle, Jr., Howard Comfort, Justus C. Strawbridge,
Thomas Scattergood, Henry Tatnall, James Wood, Rufus M.
Jones, Alexander C. Wood, M. Carey Thomas, Francis R.
Cope, Jr., Annie Crosby Emery Allinson, Elizabeth Butler
Kirkbride, and Mary E. Garrett. Mrs. Allinson and Miss
Kirkbride had been nominated, as provided for in the char-
ter, by the Alumnae Association of Bryn Mawr College to
the Trustees for election as Directors, Mrs. Allinson to serve
as a Director for six years and Miss Kirkbride to serve as a
Director for three years ; and in accordance with the pro-
visions of the charter authorising the election of a sixteenth
director at large, Miss Garrett was elected by the Trustees
to fill this position.
The new Board of Directors met for the first time on
]STovernber 16th, 1906, and assumed the governing and admin-
istrative control of the college committed to it by the Board
of Trustees.
By the change which thus went into operation the
graduates of the college were for the first time directly repre-
sented in its control and for the first time also women were
adequately represented in the Board. Erom the opening of
the college in 1885 until 1902, when the President of the
College was elected a Trustee, the Board of Trustees con-
sisted entirely of men, and until the present year no other
woman had been elected to the membership on the board. In
this feature of its organisation Bryn Mawr College was
unique, all other colleges for women having women on their
governing boards. It is a matter for sincere congratulation
that this important change in the government and adminis-
tration of the college was made unanimously by the Board of
Trustees.
The organisation of privately endowed colleges and uni-
versities in the United States is sui generis, and very differ-
ent from the organisation of institutions of learning in other
13
countries. To all intents and purposes, privately endowed
colleges are financially and academically independent of the
government of the country, state, or city in which they are
situated, and for this reason the possibilities of educational
development, or of educational decline, are very great. Their
boards of government are usually self -perpetuating, and as the
services given by the members of these boards are entirely
voluntary and without emolument of any kind the continu-
ance of privately endowed institutions depends upon the self-
sacrificing devotion and initiative of their trustees, or
directors. For this reason it is highly desirable for such
boards to secure as members a fair proportion of deeply-
interested alumnse, whose ideals of scholarship have been
formed by the college or university on whose governing boards
they are later to serve.
In France, Italy, and other European countries the uni-
versities are state institutions, their instructors are state
officials, and their academic standards are regulated by the
state. This is true even in Germany, where the professors
have the right of nominating to the state individual instruc-
tors for appointment to professorships. In England the con-
stitution of Oxford and Cambridge is more like that of
our private foundations. They are free corporations orig-
inally founded on an ecclesiastical basis governing themselves
through their professors or lecturers, subject, however, to the
control of their graduates. Although they operate under the
general supervision of parliament, the state has nothing to do
with their ordinary administration. They differ, however,
from private university foundations in the United States in
that their source of authority is in reality the majority vote
of their masters of arts. They are not governed by self-
perpetuating life boards. London University, Liverpool Uni-
versity, Manchester and other newer foundations are corpora-
tions operating under acts of parliament subject to the
approval of the sovereign. London University, for example,
is governed by a council operating under statutes and regula-
tions approved by parliament, consisting of twenty-one mem-
bers chosen from among the life governors or donors, the
14
proprietors or subscribers to the university, and the fellows
or distinguished students of the university.
In the United States, if we select from the list of the
453 so-called colleges the 58 colleges which by common con-
sent would rank first in educational standards, numbers of stu-
dents, and endowment, we find that 39 of the 58 are private
foundations, and that these 39 are by far the most important
educational institutions in the United States, only six of the
larger state universities coming into competition in these
respects with the private foundations. It is noticeable that
the two privately endowed universities recently founded in the
west, Chicago and Leland Stanford, Jr., have given a great
educational impetus to Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and
California, the four state universities in their immediate
neighborhoods. Our state universities are governed immedi-
ately by the state, their boards of regents being chosen
directly by the people or the legislature, or by state officials.
The state university of Michigan, for example, is governed
by a board of nine regents, eight elected by popular vote,
and the president of the university. The state university
of Wisconsin is governed by a board of fifteen regents, thir-
teen elected by the state legislature, and the state superin-
tendent of public instruction and the president of the uni-
versity ex-ojficio. The state university of Illinois is governed
by twelve regents, nine elected by popular vote, two state
officials and the president of the university. The university
of California is governed by twenty-three regents, six state
officials, the president of the university and sixteen regents
appointed by the governor.
A careful study of the development of privately endowed
universities and their influence on state universities seems
to me to show conclusively that the future of higher educa-
tion in this country rests chiefly with the privately endowed
institutions, and in the main with their self -perpetuating gov-
erning boards. It becomes, then, a matter of vital educa-
tional importance to organise these boards so that they may
represent the most enlightened and progressive opinion. Such
boards must not be so large as to make full and free dis-
cussion impossible, or to necessitate committee management,
15
,-■,..
nor must they be so small that varied interests, especially
the interest of the graduates of the college in their alma
mater, cannot be adequately represented. I believe that in
the organisation of our Board of Directors an important step
has been taken in the solution of this problem.
The Faculty of Bryn Mawr College met with a great loss
in the death of Professor David Irons, Professor of Philoso-
phy. Professor Irons died suddenly on January 23, 1907,
after an illness lasting only a few hours. Although he had
not been well for the past three or four years, his death was
wholly unexpected. He was born in Dundee, Scotland, in
1869, and was a distinguished graduate of the University of
St. Andrews, where he took the degree of Master of Arts with
honors in 1891, and afterwards won the Ramsey Scholarship,
which he held from 1891 to 1892, and the Ferguson Scholar-
ship, which he held from 1892 to 1894. He held a Fellow-
ship in Philosophy at Cornell University in 1892, and studied
at the Universities of Berlin and Jena from 1893 to 1894.
He took the degree of doctor of philosophy at Cornell Univer-
sity in 1894, and held the positions of Lecturer in Philosophy
in Cornell University from 1894 to 1896, Acting Professor of
Philosophy in the University of Vermont from 1896 to 1897,
and Instructor in Philosophy in Cornell University from
1897 to 1900. In 1900 he came to Bryn Mawr College as As-
sociate in Philosophy and head of the department of philoso-
phy. He was appointed Associate Professor in 1902, and
Professor of Philosophy in 1905. His chief interest was in
ethics. In 1903 he published a study on the Psychology of
Ethics, and he was the author of a number of articles and
reviews in the Philosophical Revieiv and other philosophical
periodicals. A memorial service was held in Taylor Hall
at three o'clock on January 26th, attended by the Directors,
academic staff, and students of the college. The Rev. Charles
Mellen Tyler, Sage Professor of the History and Philosophy
of Religion, in Cornell University, a former teacher and
personal friend of Professor Irons, conducted the service.
Professor John Grier Hibben, Stuart Professor of Logic in
Princeton University, another personal friend, Professor
16
George A. Barton, on behalf of the Faculty of Bryn Mawr
College, and the President of the College were the other
speakers. In Appendix XII to this report will be found
the memorial resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors,
the Faculty, the Alumnse Association, the Graduate Club,
and the Undergraduate Association of Bryn Mawr Col-
lege. The Undergraduate Association and the Graduate Club
purchased for $500 Professor Irons' library of 541 volumes,
an unusually complete collection of English philosophical
works of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and pre-
sented it to the college as a memorial of their affection and
gratitude.
Two of our senior professors, Professor Hermann Col-
litz and Professor Charles McLean Andrews, resigned at the
close of this academic year to accept professorships especially
created for them in the Johns Hopkins University. Their
loss to the college will be very great.
Professor Hermann Oollitz, Ph.D., was called to Bryn
Mawr from a privatdocentship in the University of Halle in
the autumn of 1886 as Associate Professor of German Lit-
erature and Language ; in 1897 he was elected Professor of
Comparative Philology and German, which chair he has held
until the present time. During these twenty-one years he
has devoted himself unremittingly to the interests of the col-
lege, and has also written and published extensively in his
special field of work. Many graduate students of teutonic
philology and German have studied with him and have testi-
fied to the inspiration they have received from working under
an active investigator in comparative teutonic philology.
Professor Collitz is the most eminent scholar in this field in
the United States.
Professor Charles McLean Andrews, Ph.D., was elected
Associate in History in Bryn Mawr College in the autumn
of 1889, Associate Professor in 1894, and Professor of His-
tory in 1898. He has been in the service of Bryn Mawr
College for the past eighteen years. During this period Pro-
fessor Andrew's courses in minor and major history, and his
post-major and graduate work have been elected by many
eager and well-trained students. He has been eminently sue-
17
cessful as a teacher in both graduate and undergraduate work.
He has taken great pains to train his students, and has
followed their later work after they have left the college with
a sympathy and interest which are very rare. Professor An-
drews has also added much to the reputation of the college
by his published work, and is at the present time one of the
chief authorities on colonial history in the United States.
Miss Helen Strong Hoyt, A.M., Bryn Mawr College, re-
signed the readership in English which she had held for nine
years, at the close of the year. Much of the present excellent
organisation of the work in English composition is due to her
initiative and interest. She will be greatly missed in the
English department.
A full list of other changes in the faculty and staff of
the college, and the academic history of the new members of
the faculty may be found in the first appendix to my report.
In the reorganisation of the work in history made neces-
sary by the resignation of Professor Andrews it was decided
to appoint an historian who had specialised in European his-
tory, as Dr. William Roy Smith, our Associate in History,
is interested in American history. In addition to the appro-
priation usually made to the department of history, the Direc-
tors appropriated the sum of $1,000 for the purchase of books
on European history.
Eor the first time since October, 1897, when the chair
in psychology was established, adequate facilities were pro-
vided for the work in psychology in the new library building.
A gift of $1,000 from Miss Garrett, a member of our Board
of Directors, made it possible for Professor Leuba to equip
his new laboratories with the necessary psychological appa-
ratus. In granting Professor Leuba leave of absence for the
year 1907-08, the Directors acting on his recommendation
appointed as his substitute an experimental psychologist,
Clarence Errol Eerree, A.M., M.S., a pupil of Professor
Edward Bradford Titchener, of Cornell University, and later
an instructor in his laboratory. After Professor Leuba's
return Mr. Eerree will organise undergraduate and graduate
instruction in experimental psychology.
18
For several years past it has become evident to our scien-
tific faculty, and especially to our professors of chemistry,
that courses in physical chemistry must be provided. For
the past two years instruction in this subject has been
given by Dr. David Wilbur Horn of the department of
chemistry, but the development of the work has been much
hampered by lack of a proper laboratory and an adequate sup-
ply of apparatus. George Shannon Forbes, Ph.D., a pupil
of Professor Theodore W. Richards of Harvard University,
and a former demonstrator in his physical chemical labora-
tory, was appointed by the Board of Directors to fill the
vacancy in chemistry caused by Dr. Horn's resignation. A
laboratory for physical chemistry was provided in Dalton
Hall during the summer, and a gift of $600 for apparatus
will make it possible to give a satisfactory graduate course in
physical chemistry during the ensuing year.
For the past seven years, indeed from the year 1899,
when a committee of the faculty drew up the present Merit
Law (which was passed by the Faculty and approved by the
Trustees in the same year, but did not come into full opera-
tion until June, 1902), it has been evident to the faculty
and the officers of administration, including the wardens of
the halls of residence, that special pains must be taken to
raise the academic standards of the body of undergraduate
students. Not only the Merit Law, but many other regula-
tions of the faculty have been passed with this object in
view. The faculty's legislation of the past few years shows
a strongly marked tendency not to permit exceptions to the
rules of the faculty, but to insist upon the students individu-
ally and collectively accepting, the standards of the faculty in
academic work. In December, 1905, the Merit Law was
added to and extended, and these additional provisions were
duly approved by the Board of Trustees. These requirements
came into operation during the academic year covered by this
report. Every student who at the end of her junior year, or in
February of her senior year, has received grades below merit
in as many as one-half of the hours that she has taken out of
the total of 120 hours which must be offered for the bachelor's
19
degree is required to take one additional year in order to grad-
uate. During this additional year and during the year which
would have been her senior year had she been graduated in
four years, she is put on probation and her work is carefully
planned and watched by the petition committee of the fac-
ulty. She is given by this committee as nearly as possible
twelve hours, a certain number of which shall count towards
her degree, and in addition she is required to take a certain
amount of specialised work in small classes which does not
count towards her degree, but which will enable the petition
committee to judge whether she is studying seriously. A brief
summary of the practical working of the Merit Law and of
these additional provisions may be found on page 50 of the
report of the Assistant to the President, through whose office
all such faculty rules are put into operation. Also in 1905,
the Trustees passed a rule, to go into operation in the year
1906-07, that no student who has not obtained the grade of
merit in as many as one-half the hours which she has taken
out of the 120 hours required for the bachelor's degree may
be permitted to take part in any college entertainment requir-
ing preparation, or to hold any lucrative office in the gift of
the college; and in January, 1906, they extended this rule to
cover also nominations for any executive office in the Students'
Association for Self-Government, the Undergraduate Associa-
tion, the Christian Union, the League for the Service of
Christ, the Editorial Board of The Lantern,, and the Students'
Building Committee.
In view of the above action taken by the Trustees and
Faculty, it is worthy of note that at the luncheon given at the
President's house to the graduating class of 1907, the senior
who had been elected European Eellow stated, with the
approval and assent of the other members of the class, that
since the close of their sophomore year, that is, since June,
1905, it had seemed to them that the academic standards of
the college had appreciably risen and that it had again
become the custom among the students, as opposed to the
practice during their freshman and sophomore years, to talk
over with one another subjects discussed in their lectures or
in the scientific laboratories.
20
Although an excellent beginning in raising the standard
of work and thought among the undergraduates has been
made, careful attention must be given to the subject through-
out the next few years.
The college officers of administration are the same as in
1894-95, whereas the number of students has increased by
54 per cent. It became evident several years ago that we had
outgrown our organisation. It has become impossible for the
President of the College and the Assistant to the President,
even with the assistance of the wardens as assistant advisers
to the freshmen, to give the students the necessary advice in
regard to their selection of courses, or to follow them as
they should be followed with personal advice and counsel
throughout their academic courses.
This matter of personal advice is probably the most
difficult problem to be solved in college education in the
United States. Various colleges have attacked it in differ-
ent ways. In some colleges the students are divided up
among the members of the faculty, who act as student ad-
visers, but careful examination of the working of this system
leads me to believe that it does not accomplish satisfactory
results. The first interest of scholarly and productive mem-
bers of a progressive faculty is in their teaching and research
work, and even if the plan works well when it is first begun,
the inevitable tendency seems to be for the members of the
faculty either to neglect the interests of the students com-
mitted to their care, or to become involved in so much admin-
istrative work that they lose their position as productive
scholars. Such a solution could not in any case be consid-
ered at Bryn Mawr, both because of the scholarly reputation
of its faculty and because a majority of them are men, many
of them unmarried. It has sometimes been suggested that
older students might direct the work of younger students, but
this would be at best a makeshift, because, as far as possible,
experience should direct inexperience, and there are many
mistakes that are common to youth as such, and these mistakes
would be made almost as frequently by older as by younger
students. A year ago Princeton University adopted the
21
radical plan of adding forty-seven so-called preceptors (among
whom are two former members of our Bryn Mawr College
Faculty) to its teaching staff, with the rank of Assistant Pro-
fessor and salaries averaging from $1,800 to $2,000 a year,
paid from the interest of a fund raised by its alumni for the
purpose. Each preceptor meets a little group of about twelve
students frequently for reports and conferences on the courses
they are taking, and prescribes and talks over with them re-
lated reading. This experiment is now in its second year of
trial and is said to work well. Apart, however, from its
expense, which puts it out of the question for Bryn Mawr, it
remains to be seen whether such personally conducted students
will prove to have the native independence of mind developed
in the best students by more independent methods of instruc-
tion, and also whether preceptors of the kind Princeton has ap-
pointed — and of the kind colleges must obtain if the system
is to work well — will be content to remain long as precep-
tors. The probability is that these preceptors will wish to
deliver lectures like the other members of the Princeton
faculty, and the question to be answered by experience is
also whether, if they are not permitted to do so (and it
will be impossible under the' true preceptorial system), they
will not deteriorate in mental quality like many of the
Oxford and Cambridge dons who coach immature students
for five to six hours a week for many years consecutively.
In order to meet the situation at Bryn Mawr, at least in
some measure, the President of the College recommended
to the Executive Committee in May, 1906, that Marion
Eeilly of Philadelphia, a graduate of Bryn Mawr College in
1901, who has since that time been pursuing her grad-
uate studies in mathematics and philosophy in our graduate
school with the intention of taking the degree of doctor of
philosophy, should be appointed Adviser to the Students and
Reader in Philosophy for the year 1907-08, and that the
Directors of the College should look forward to reviving the
office of Dean of the College, which had been done away with
in 1894, when the former dean was elected to the office of
President of the College which she is now holding. This
action was approved by the Executive Committee, and it
22
was arranged between Miss Reilly and the President of
the College that she should spend the greater part of the
year 1906-07 abroad completing her studies and that
part of this time should be spent by her in residence at
]STewnham College, Cambridge, so that she might become
familiar with residential life in English woman's colleges.
In May, 1907, the Board of Directors appointed Miss Reilly
Dean of the College and Reader in Philosophy, the ap-
pointment to take effect in 1907-08. Necessary and service-
able as this appointment cannot fail to be, it must be remem-
bered that it will only partially solve the question of giving
the undergraduate students the necessary advice and assist-
ance in their college life. It will be impossible for the new
Dean of' the College to supervise even in moderate detail the
study, reading, and arrangement of work of more than the
150 or 200 juniors and seniors, who will be under her
special care. It will still be necessary for the President
of the College and the Assistant to the President to spend
as much time in advising students as they have hitherto spent.
The Directors should look forward to appointing in the near
future two or three assistant advisers to aid the Dean of the
College in her duties.
The work of the tabulation of students' courses, the num-
bers of students attending each of the college classes, the ar-
rangement of the schedule of lectures, the apportioning of the
lecture rooms, the announcement of courses of lectures, the
publication of the college programme, graduate pamphlet, and
notices of lectures and other public functions, the formulation
and the enforcement of rules enacted by the Directors and
by the Faculty, and the keeping of accurate academic statis-
tics — in short, all the work which in the modern subdivision
of administrative work in colleges and universities is as-
signed to the different faculty deans — is now done, and ad-
mirably done, by the Assistant to the President. The organi-
sation of the college, however, as regards the careful watching
of the work of the students needs to be strengthened, and
the appointment of the Dean of the College will be of great
assistance in this direction.
23
During the past few years it has also become clear to all
those familiar with the administrative work of the college that
the administrative officers, especially on the business side,
have not kept pace with the growth of the college or the
great increase in the number of college buildings which has
taken place in recent years. Since 1905, when Miss Fred-
erika M. Kerr resigned the office of bursar, which she had
held for seventeen years, it has proved impossible to secure
for the salary appropriated to this position by the Directors a
bursar with sufficiently wide financial experience to relieve
the President of the College from the constant weight of
financial anxiety. It has been necessary for the president in
recent years, especially during the construction of the power
plant, Rockefeller Hall, and the Library, to spend almost one-
third of her time in supervising and following the work of
the bursar's office. Likewise the organisation of the busi-
ness side of the college was entirely insufficient to care
for our increased material plant and equipment. The col-
lege buildings have more than doubled in value since 1904,
and represent at the present time an expenditure of
$1,463,299. Our college campus has also been greatly ex-
tended. In 1904 all that part of our grounds lying between
Radnor Hall and Low Buildings and also the present site of
the Library, and the lawns stretching between the Library
and Rockefeller Hall and across the Kennedy lot to Yarrow
were uncared for. The supervision and care of the buildings
and grounds has up to the present time been performed
through the president's office with the competent assistance
of Miss Caroline Lewis, Superintendent of Buildings and
Grounds, who began her work at the college in 1897
as private secretary to the president and was practically in
charge of the buildings and grounds from this time. She
was appointed Superintendent by the Trustees in the year
1901. Miss Lewis has, however, been able to give only
thirty-three Hours a week to this work. Indeed it would have
been impossible under existing conditions to keep the build-
ings and grounds in their present state of efficiency had not
Miss Lewis's devotion to the college been supplemented by
that of our head engineer, Mr. George C. G. Gray, who
24
has been in the service of the college since 1896, and has
taken entire charge not only of the heating plant, but also
of the plumbing and electric lighting. We also owe much
in recent years to the faithful service of Mr. William H.
Foley, who entered the service of the college in December,
1904, as Assistant Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds.
The reorganisation of the material side of the college had
been postponed from year to year on account of the addi-
tional expense involved, but in the beginning of the year
covered by my report it seemed to the Trustees and to the
President of the College that the time had come when the
situation must be faced and the President of the College re-
lieved by the appointment of two additional officers, a Comp-
troller of Accounts who should be competent to take entire
charge of the bursar's office and also to assist the Treasurer
and Finance Committee in whatever ways they might direct,
and a Business Manager, whose office hours should coincide
with the hours of the numerous employees of the college,
who should take charge of the buildings and grounds. The
Trustees of the College had reached this conclusion before
the Board of Directors was organised, and in appointing these
two officers for the ensuing year the Board of Directors acted
on the recommendation forwarded to them from the Trustees.
Mr. James G. Forrester, who was at the time of his appoint-
ment filling the position of manager of the Imperial Trusts
Company of Canada, was appointed Comptroller; and Mr.
Alexander H. Campbell, who was at the time of his appoint-
ment holding the position of curator of St. Paul's School in
Concord, 1ST. H., which post he had filled for the past eighteen
years, was appointed Business Manager. Mr. Forrester began
his duties in July, 1907, and Mr. Campbell on September
23rd, 1907. Miss Lewis resigned her position as Superin-
tendent to take effect September 30, 1907, and accepted again
the position of Private Secretary to the President of the Col-
lege which she had given up to become Superintendent at
the request of the Trustees, in 1901. Our sincere thanks
are due her for the unremitting attention she has given to our
buildings and grounds during the past ten years of her faith-
ful service.
25
After a careful consideration of the whole subject, the
Directors decided that it was necessary to raise the price of
board for all students in the college from $175 to $200, begin-
ning with October, 1907. As the students are in residence
exactly thirty-three weeks, this makes the price of board $6.06
per week. In order that this increase may not prevent
students of moderate income from attending the college, it
was decided at the same time to reduce the rents of sixty
rooms from $125 to $100, thus making the total cost of board
and residence in these rooms the same as it has hitherto been
for students occupying less expensive rooms, namely $300.
An effort will be made to distribute equally throughout the
six halls of residence these cheaper rooms. Students who are
unable to pay more than the minimum price for board and
residence will be required to file a statement to this effect in
the secretary's office, and the lowest priced rooms will be re-
served for such students. As this reduction will make the
total room rent yielded by the sixty rooms in question less
by $1,500, it was further decided to raise the rent of a suf-
ficient number of the larger single rooms and more attractive
double suites $25 a year, so as to make the increase in their
rental equal the decrease in the rental of the cheaper rooms.
Tables of the room rents as they are during this year, and as
they will be according to the arrangement for 1907-08, are
appended.
The room rents in 1907-08 will amount to only $175
more than in 1906-07, so closely has the balance between the
average increase and the average decrease been observed.
The cost per year, including infirmary fees, for under-
graduates living in the sixty cheaper rooms is $505. The
cost per year for other undergraduates occupying single rooms
is $530, although of course many are living more expensively
in double or single suites.

"Reserved for graduate students. fReserved for poorer students.
27
In the academic year 1900-01 the tuition fee was raised
from $125 to $150 and board from $150 to $175, and again
in the year 1903-04 the tuition was raised from $150 to
$200, so that since 1900 the total cost of board, room rent
and tuition has been raised from $400 to $500 for stu-
dents needing to economise, and to $525 for all other students.
This increase does not represent the rise in the cost of living
which has taken place during these seven years. It was,
however, sufficient to lessen the numbers of undergraduate
students, in the year 1902-03, when the higher charges began
to be felt by incoming students, as will be seen by reference
to table 'No. I in the report of the Assistant to the President.
It is probable that the present increase will check our growth
for a few years, but this is not to be regretted, as we have at
the present time only thirty-seven unoccupied rooms in the
college.
No change has been made in the price of board and room
rent for graduates, which remains as in 1885, the increase in
board having been balanced by a corresponding reduction in
room rent. Practically all graduate students are fitting
themselves by further study for the profession of teaching,
and in most cases have earned by teaching the money to pay
for this further study. It would therefore be a serious error
in educational policy to increase their expenses, and would
defeat one of the objects which the Founder of the college
specifies in his will when he says that he wishes Bryn Mawr
College "to educate teachers of a high order."
The new schedule of entrance examinations adopted by
the Faculty and approved by the Directors, will go into
operation in the spring examinations of 1908. The time of
examinations has been extended from five to eight days. The
advanced matriculation examinations in Minor Latin, Trigo-
nometry and Solid Geometry have been placed on Monday and
Tuesday of the second week, and the three examinations in
Greek, which are taken by the smallest number of students,
have been placed on Monday of the first week. This change is
made so that in future it will not be necessary for candidates
28
to be in the examination room more than three hours on any
morning, or more than two hours on any afternoon.
• Important changes in the calendar of the college year, to
go into operation in 1907-08, were made by the Faculty and
approved by the Directors. These changes removed certain
irregularities in beginning and ending the Christmas vaca-
tion, and made the number of working days in each semes-
ter as nearly as possible equal. The holiday now given
on Washington's birthday was cancelled and this holiday was
added to the one day's vacation hitherto given at the begin-
ning of the second semester, thus securing for the students a
vacation of three days between the ending of the examina-
tions of the first semester and the beginning of the second
semester. It was also adopted as a principle that work should
begin after the summer, Christmas and Easter vacations as a
rule on Wednesday or Thursday, and that the college should
close as nearly as possible on Wednesday of the week before
Christmas, thus giving the students time to make their Christ-
mas preparations without taking the time from their college
work. Except Thanksgiving, all vacations will now close in
the middle of the week and students will no longer be tempted
to travel or unpack their trunks on Sundays. The Eaculty
also adopted registration under penalty of punishment at the
beginning of the second semester.
Various fees and charges imposed by the Directors came
into effect during this year, as follows : for every division of
the entrance examinations cancelled and repeated a fee of
five dollars ; for every entrance condition taken after a
student has received a certificate of admission a fee of three
dollars ; for every change of room from one hall of residence
to another a fee of ten dollars ; for every change of room in
a hall of residence a fee of five dollars ; for each diploma, in-
cluding graduation expenses a fee of ten dollars additional,
or twenty dollars in all; for every examination deferred on
account of illness, or as a penalty by the Eaculty for late
registration a fee of five dollars. Hitherto only conditioned
and advanced standing examinations have been charged for.
29
The Directors further ordered that all fees paid by students
for examinations of any kind, with the exception of entrance
examination fees, should be added to the appropriation for
books for the library for the current year.
In certain college matters it has been very difficult to
regulate the actions of the students without the assistance
of fines. For example, in the preceding twenty years it had
proved practically impossible to induce students by persuasion
or admonition to hand in their registration of courses in time
for the office to plan the work of the different departments.
After the Directors passed the rule authorising the imposition
of a fine of five dollars for late registration of courses, which
went into effect in the college year 1905-06, there was no
further difficulty. There had been constant trouble in the
gymnasium both because students had neglected to take the
required hours of exercise and drill, and because they
failed repeatedly to keep their appointments for measure-
ments and strength tests with the Director of Athletics and
Gymnastics and the Visiting Physician. On recommendation
of the President of the College and the Director of Athletics
and Gymnastics the Directors authorised the imposition
of a fine of one dollar for each period of exercise omitted
during the college year, and in addition passed a rule requir-
ing the student to make up the missing periods of exercise
for which she had been fined within two weeks after the end
of gymnastic work in the spring, under penalty of being re-
quired to exercise for double the number of periods missed
and of paying an additional fine of two dollars for each
doubled period. These rules were also extended to non-resi-
dent students, who are thus for the first time required, under
penalty, to take the required amount of exercise. A fine was
also imposed on students who missed their physical examina-
tions, and on those who came late. The rules concerning
fines went into operation in the second semester of the year
covered by my report, and at once solved the difficulties
with which we had been struggling since the opening of the
college. Not only were practically all required periods of
exercise taken within the required time, but students came
30
promptly to the gymnasium for their physical measurements.
In the year 1905-06 it took the Director of Athletics and
Gymnastics and her assistant 136 hours to measure the same
number of students who were measured in 85 hours after the
rule concerning fines went into operation. This saving of
time was due solely to the promptness with which the students
kept their appointments. It was voted by the Directors that
the fines imposed for gymnastic work should be appropriated
for the purchase of apparatus and equipment for the gym-
nasium.
Mrs. Anna Woerishoffer of ISTew York City founded,
in connection with our graduate school, the Anna Ottendorfer
Memorial Research Fellowship for the Study of Teutonic
Philology and German Language and Literature in memory
of her mother, the late Anna Ottendorfer. She handed over
to the Trustees one hundred shares of United States Steel
preferred stock of the par value of $10,000, which at present
yields $700 a year. This fellowship is to be open for com-
petition to women capable of independent research who are
graduates of Bryn Mawr College or any other college of
good standing and have completed at least one year of grad-
uate work in Bryn Mawr College. It is a very welcome gift
and is the first true research fellowship founded at Bryn
Mawr College.
This year marks the completion of the building opera-
tions begun in June, 1902, when the trustees, alumnae, and
friends of the college succeeded in raising $250,000 for the
library, and thus secured Mr. John D. Rockefeller's generous
gift of $250,000, which, through his great kindness and the
interest and sympathy of his son, Mr. John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., was later increased to $455,000. A legacy of $50,000
left to the college by the late Mr. Joseph E. Gillingham en-
abled the trustees to complete the north wing of the library
building. The building of this wing was begun in May,
1906, and finished in February, 1907. In the summer of
1906 about 50,000 books were moved from Taylor Hall into
the stack and seminary rooms of the new library building,
and we began using the main library building and the
31
south wing when the college reopened in the autumn. In
February, 1907, the seminary libraries were moved into the
north wing.
The library is built of gray stone in the so-called col-
legiate Gothic, or Jacobean Gothic, style of architecture
of the period of 1630, this being the date of Wadham
College, Oxford, which was selected as a model for the
building. The library forms three sides of an enclosed
quadrangle surrounded with cloisters. The Class of 1901
gave the stone fountain in the centre of the quadrangle and
the electric motor operating it. The main east front,
174 feet long, faces Taylor Hall at a distance of about
150 feet. Its principal entrance is opposite the tower door
of Taylor Hall and is connected with it by a broad cement
walk. The main building contains a three-story stack with
accommodations for 88,000 volumes, and above this a large
reading room extending over the entire main building, with
large north and south end windows and eleven large windows
in the long east front and in the garden front to the west.
The tracery of these windows is copied from the windows
of the dining hall of Wadham College, the President of the
College having obtained the permission of the Warden of
Wadham to send a photographer from London to take large
photographs of them. The entrance porch is an exact
copy of the entrance porch of Oriel College, Oxford, as it is
shown in photographs and drawings before it was rebuilt
after the fire in 1752. The reading room contains desks for
136 readers. Each desk is screened to a height of two feet,
as in the British Museum reading room, to secure privacy.
ISTo books of reference are kept in the reading room. The
alumnse of the college gave two thousand dollars to panel
the reading room in oak after the design of the Wadham din-
ing hall. The teakwood doors leading into this room and the
carved teakwood screen in which they are set were given by the
undergraduate students who were studying in the college in
the year 1904-05, as a memorial to Mary Helen Ritchie,
former Secretary of the college, who died during this year.
The Class of 1899 has raised $1,000 for the gift of a large
bronze clock to be placed in the main reading room connected
32
with a master clock which is intended to control the clocks in
all the college buildings.
Beyond the reading room in the south wing are the news-
paper and magazine rooms. In the corresponding north wing
is the art seminary and lecture room, containing the collec-
tions of photographs, vases and coins. On the floor below,
on either side of the stack, are offices for the librarian and
cataloguers, a study room for non-resident students, four cloak
rooms, and two telephone closets. The north and south wings
run parallel, about two hundred feet in length, and contain
twelve seminary rooms for Greek, Latin, English, German,
French, Italian, Spanish, philosophy, mathematics, history,
economics, Semitics, and psychology, two seminary lecture
rooms accommodating about fifteen students each, four inter-
view rooms, a reading room and library for the use of the
Students' Christian Union and League, twenty-four professors'
offices arranged so that two offices adjoin the seminary room
in each department, and the office of the Dean of the College.
In addition, the first floor of the south wing contains two large
laboratories for experimental psychology, a seminary room,
a professor's office, a photographing room, and a lecture room
seating thirty students. The basement in the north wing
contains rooms for the Monograph Committee of the Faculty,
the Alumnse Association, the Students' Association for Self-
Government, and fire-proof safe rooms for the records and
archives of the college. The library was built and furnished
at a cost of $342,120.82, and we have in hand gifts, amount-
ing to about $4,000, which will be used next summer to
complete the decoration of the building.
The library with members of the library force in attend-
ance is open continuously from eight o'clock in the morning
until ten o'clock in the evening on week-days and from two
o'clock until ten on Sundays. It is also heated and lighted
all night, for the convenience of professors who wish to use
their offices or seminary rooms, each member of the faculty
being provided with a pass key.
The library has proved admirably adapted to its purpose,
and the facilities it has offered, together with the new rules
33
adopted by the Library Committee, have greatly increased its
usefulness and the circulation of books. Reference is
made to the Librarian's report for further details.
In assigning the offices to members of the faculty the
Directors requested that each professor occupying an office
should give at least two consultation hours a week, announc-
ing in the college publications and on the bulletin boards the
hours when students would be at liberty to come for confer-
ence and consultation. These consultation hours have been of
great assistance to the students in their academic work.
After moving the library out of Taylor Hall, the Direc-
tors restored Taylor Hall to the condition in which it was
originally. The doors between the central room and the east
and west rooms on either side, which had been used as the
library, were closed, the central room was converted into a
professors' consultation room, and the west room, now called
D, was seated with 85 desks, and the east room, E, with 81
desks. On the third floor all the partitions which had sub-
divided it into seminary rooms were taken out and two
large lecture rooms were made exactly the size of those
on the second floor, one of these rooms, H, being seated
with 169 desks and the other, K, with 81 desks. The for-
mer professors' consultation room was converted again
into a lecture room, L, and seated for 25 students. In the
south wing the historical and political science seminary on
the third floor is now used for office records and files. Tay-
lor Hall now contains the following lecture rooms : A, 37
seats; B, 25 seats; C, 40 seats; D, 85 seats; E, 81 seats;
F, 169 seats; G, 81 seats; H, 169 seats; K, 81 seats; L, 25
seats ; whereas during the time it was used for the library it
contained only 5 lecture rooms and 3 small seminary rooms.
Important improvements were made in Merion Hall,
the oldest college hall of residence. The suite next to
the drawing room on the first floor was changed into a
students' sitting room. The warden's bedroom on the second
floor and the bedroom adjoining were made into a large dou-
ble suite, and a bedroom and private bathroom for the
warden were made from the adjoining bedroom and sitting
room. The former students' sitting room was changed into
34
a double suite for two students, and the room above it, which
had been used for two students without being subdivided, was
subdivided and made into a double suite. The serving
pantry was greatly enlarged, and the direct heating, which
had given constant trouble in Merion from pounding in the
pipes was changed to indirect and eleven rooms were put
under thermostatic control. The plumbing throughout the
hall was completely renewed. These changes cost $4,180.48,
which, by vote of the Directors, will be paid for from the
increased annual rental of the double suites.
During the year a new professor's house, Dolwen, was
built for Professor Arthur Leslie Wheeler, on College Hill
next to Tan-y-Bryn, at a total cost of $9,000, which sum
the Alumnse Association of the college loaned to the trustees
at 4% per cent interest from the endowment fund which they
are raising for the college.
Certain changes were made in flat A of Yarrow East in
order to give more rooms and a comfortable dining room.
The Athletic Association raised the sum of $41.74
to complete the upper hockey field and 325 to concrete the
lower athletic field so as to be able to play later in the season
and in wet weather. This work was done during the summer.
The College undertook the management of the skating
pond. Four electric arc lamps were erected. The pond was
surrounded by a wire netting. A gate house was built and a
gatekeeper employed. Tickets were sold for one dollar to
members of the college and two dollars to school girls in the
neighborhood. Men, except members of the faculty, were
excluded from the pond. It is hoped that the skating pond
will soon meet the expenses of maintenance.
The Board of Managers of Low Buildings, with the
approval of the Low Buildings Association, made extensive
alterations in Low" Buildings during the summer and autumn
of 1906 at a cost of $1,706.92. The Association borrowed
$1,000 to meet these expenses, which amount, together
with the $706.92 additional cost, has been since repaid
out of income. The former kitchen was divided across the
middle, and the half nearer the coffee room was turned into
a pantry, as the former pantry was entirely inadequate. The
35
range was moved to the other side of the kitchen and an ex-
tension was built into the yard, enlarging the kitchen and
making in addition a servants' dining room, a storeroom, and
a refrigerator room ; a bedroom and bathroom for the men
servants and a laundry were built in the basement; the dis-
used kitchen, servants' room and pantry of the first floor
apartment in the west wing were converted into a bedroom
and office for an assistant housekeeper ; the servants' entrance
was made available for trunks, all trunks having hitherto
been brought in through the main front entrance; a door
was cut into the hall so that it would no longer be necessary
for servants to go through the coffee room in order to answer
the door-bell; the porches, which had begun to rot, were re-
built and repaired at a cost of $42.50; and certain defects in
the working of the heating system, including the installa-
tion of a fresh air duct, were remedied at a cost of $53.50.
An extension to the northeast wing was begun in May, 1906,
and completed and occupied by October 8, 1906. This ex-
tension consists of a housekeeping apartment of five rooms on
two floors, a kitchen, a servant's room, a bathroom, and two
porches; and on the third floor a sitting room and two bed-
rooms with private porch. The apartment is now occupied
by Professor and Mrs. J. Edmund Wright, and the suite by
a former student and her mother. This extension cost $3,385,
the money for which was loaned to Low Building Association
by Dr. Isabel Maddison and Mrs. J\ Edmund Wright.
Our experience during the past two years has proved to
the administration of the college, the two physicians in at-
tendance, and the wardens that a new infirmary is almost a
necessity. The special attention of the Directors is called to
the reports of the Attending Physician and the Visiting Phy-
sician of the College, which emphasise the very unsatisfac-
tory conditions under which students who are ill must be
cared for.
An extension to the gymnasium is equally needed,
and an effort should be made to enlarge it as soon as possible.
The area of working floor space is only 1,716 square feet.
From forty to sixty students are required to use this floor
space at one time. The dressing room space is entirely inade-
36
quate, about one and one-half square feet being allowed to
each student. From sixty to ninety students use at the same
time for egress and ingress a small hallway twelve feet five
inches by fourteen feet ten inches, which also contains a tele-
phone booth, table, chair, water cooler, and a large cloak
rack. The skirts and coats of forty students are often thrown
in heaps on the floor because there is barely rack room for
twenty students. The cramped conditions have become almost
intolerable. Private dressing rooms for physical appoint-
ments and an enlarged and ventilated measuring room are
sorely needed. There are practically no bathing facilities.
The four shower baths are used in connection with the swim-
ming pool only.
In connection with gifts made to the library and other
gifts which have been generously offered to the college by dif-
ferent classes, the Board of Directors passed the following
important resolution on April 19, 1907 : "In view of the im-
portance of architectural and artistic unity, all gifts affecting
the architectural appearance of college buildings and grounds,
or the inside decorations of academic buildings, should be de-
signed under the direction of the Committee on Buildings and
Grounds for the approval of intending donors."
The Directors invited the Friends' Summer School of
Religious History to meet at the college from June 14th to
June 22nd, 1907. The school met in Taylor Hall and the
library, and Pembroke East and West were kept open for
those who wished to reside on the campus. Miss Martha G.
Thomas and Miss Patterson, the warden and housekeeper of
Pembroke, presided over and managed the hall. The Stu-
dents' Christian Union also held a conference at the same
time in connection with the Friends' Summer School of Re-
ligious History, and the Directors granted permission to the
members to reside in Radnor Hall. Miss Virginia Stoddard
and Mrs. Miller, the warden and housekeeper of Radnor,
presided over and managed the hall. Our thanks are due to
the two wardens and the two housekeepers, who generously
gave up part of their summer vacation to act as hostesses on
behalf of the college.
37
The Colonial Dames met on May 3, 1907, in the cloister
of the library to dedicate a tablet to commemorate Mrs. Eliza-
beth Duane Gillespie in whose honor they had founded a
scholarship at Bryn Mawr College.
The annual conferring of degrees took place on June
6th, the address being delivered by His Excellency the British
Ambassador, the Eight Honorable James Bryce, on "Has the
Education of Women Distinctive Aims ?" Seventy-one stu-
dents received the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Eight students
received the degree of Master of Arts ; one having received the
degree of Bachelor of Arts of Bryn Mawr College in 1893,
one in 1902, three in 1905, and three in 1906. One student
was recommended for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
The Alumnse Association of Bryn Mawr held its annual
meeting at the college in Eebruary. After the meeting the
Alumnae Association lunched at the Deanery on the invita-
tion of the President of the College to meet the Academic
Committee.
The attention of the Directors is especially called to the
full information in regard to the working of the college dur-
ing the past year given in the appendices to this report. The
appendices contain the list of reappointments and changes in
the instructors and officers for the year 1907-08 ; a list of
the fellowships and scholarships awarded for the year 1907-
08 ; the names of candidates receiving degrees during the
year ; a list of the speakers who have addressed the college ; a
list of the college preachers during the year ; the gifts made
to the college during the year ; the titles of the scientific pub-
lications of the faculty during the year; a tabular summary
of the courses of instruction; and reports made to the
President of the College by the Assistant to the President,
the Librarian, the Directors of Athletics and Gymnastics, the
Attending Physician of the college, and the Visiting Phy-
sician of the college.
Respectfully submitted,
M. Caret Thomas.

X. Comparative Table of Percentage of Freshmen Entering
Without Matriculation Conditions, October,
1890— October, 1906.
This table includes only those entering in October of
each year and takes no account of conditions in punctuation
and spelling. Up to 1897 the proportion of students enter-
45
ing free from conditions to all the entering students, includ-
ing honorable dismissal students, was taken. After 1897 the
students who entered on honorable dismissal were not counted
in taking the percentage. It is therefore misleading to com-
pare the two sets of percentages.
In 1890 25.0% In 1898 26.9 %

Statistics of the Merit Law.
From June, 1902, till June, 1907, eighteen students have
been excluded from their degrees under the Merit Law, but
two of these students remained at college without definitely
working for a degree. Several students with low grades have
left the college without graduating.
The rule regulating the work of members of the junior
class who had as many as half their hours below merit came
into operation for the class of 1907, and at the end of the
year, 1905-06, nine students were placed on probation and
two students were cautioned. One of the nine students placed
on probation left the college and the remaining eight, now
counted in the class of 1908, were under the care of the Peti-
tion Committee during the year, 1906-07. Of these, six
did satisfactory work during the first semester and two made
51
an unsatisfactory record in the mid-year examinations. Of
these two, one did not wish to return to the college or to take a
degree, and the other, partly on account of ill health, decided
to leave college at the end of the year. The students who
were cautioned improved the quality of their work and grad-
uated in 1907. After the mid-year examinations one addi-
tional student was placed on probation.
After the final examinations in May, 1907, only two
students fell under the operation of the rule as compared with
nine in May, 1906. One of these had planned to stay only
three years in the college, the other is continuing to work for
her degree in the class of 1909. Four of the nine above men-
tioned students left in June, 1907, without graduating, one
being excluded from a degree by the Merit Law. Hence the
Petition Committee will have under its care in 1907-08 six
students, four in the class of 1908, and two in the class of
1909.

Registration of Attendance at Lectures.
The attendance of each student at her lectures was reg-
istered throughout the year in the same way as in the year,
1905-06. After the students had registered the courses they
expected to attend, mimeographed cards were sent out to
all professors each week giving in alphabetical order the
names of the students in their classes. The instructor marked
on the cards the absences of the students at each lecture dur-
ing the week and returned the cards at the end of the week to
the office. The absences were then transferred to special cards
for each student so that for each student a card was prepared
showing the day and hour of each absence and noting excuses
on account of illness or for other reasons. In seven classes
of over fifty students student monitors were appointed to
mark the absences. In all nearly 5,000 cards were sent out
and tabulated in the course of the year. The cards were re-
ferred to constantly by the office and by members of the
faculty, and students whose attendance was irregular were
cautioned.

Report of the Head Librarian.
To the President: Madam,
As head librarian of Bryn Mawr College, I have the
honor to present to yon the following report on the work of
the Library for the year October 1, 1906, to September 30,
1907:
Accessions.
Total number of volumes accessioned from the open-
ing of the library to September 30, 1907 54,568
Total number of volumes withdrawn up to September
30, 1907 1,709
Actual number of volumes in library September 30,
1907 52,859
In addition to this total of accessioned volumes the
library possesses a collection of books on comparative reli-
gion presented by Mr. Albert J. Edmunds of Philadelphia,
which has not yet been accessioned or counted. This collec-
tion is estimated at about 200 volumes. The total number of
volumes belonging to the library is therefore about 200 more
than the recorded accessions.
During the year 3,497 volumes, exclusive of Mr. Ed-
munds' gift, were added to the library.
The accession statistics (exclusive of Mr. Edmunds'
gift) for the year, 1906-07, are as follows ;
By purchase 1,515
By binding 541
By exchange 10
By gift 1,179
Replaced 10
Christian Union Library 242

These accessions are divided by classes as follows:

Philosophy 600
Eeligion 386
Sociology 251
Philology 109
Science 542
Useful Arts 42

Gifts.
During the year 1,179* volumes and 300* pamphlets
were presented to the library. A detailed list of donors is
appended to this report. The most important gifts of the
year were (1) the David Irons Memorial Library of 541
volumes, presented by the Undergraduate Association and the
Graduate Club, and (2) the private library of Mr. Albert
J. Edmunds of Philadelphia, presented to the college by Mr.
Edmunds. To the first gift no conditions are attached. It
consist of complete collections of the great philosophers, works
on ethics, and some seventeenth and eighteenth century
books, and one Elzevir. To the second gift is attached the
condition that it shall be kept together until after Mr. Ed-
munds' death and shall then be catalogued and arranged
under subjects. On account of this condition, the books of
this collection have not been accessioned or catalogued, but
have been shelved, without cataloguing, in the Semitic Semi-
nary.
Loan Collection on Burgundian History.
Although not a gift, the collection of books on Burgun-
dian history from the library of their father, the late Charles
♦This is exclusive of Mr. Edmunds' gift, which is not yet counted.
55
Foster Kirk, lent by the Misses Kirk should be mentioned
here. This collection, the property of the Misses Kirk of
Bryn Mawr, was deposited with the library in October, 1906,
to be nsed, if desired, by advanced students of history.
Cataloguing.
The cataloguing statistics of the year are :
Books catalogued 3,561
Cards written 10,300
Seminary cards 66
New volumes of periodicals, continua-
tions, etc., entered . 1,047
Miss Edna Lucy Goss was appointed special cataloguer
for ten months, beginning October 1, 1906, to work under
Miss Sears' supervision on the change of the catalogue to
dictionary form. During this time she recatalogued all the
class of history, including travel, biography, and archaeology,
except a few sets of periodicals which were left as not needing
recataloguing immediately. In addition she began to recata-
logue the class of sociology. Some recataloguing was also
done in the classes of French and German literature.
In addition to the cataloguing of the regular accessions
of the year, the Mary E. Stevens Memorial Library, which
was presented to the college in 1905-06, has been completely
catalogued. Part of this cataloguing was done by the regular
staff previous to October, 1906, and the work has been com-
pleted this year by Miss Bessie H. Jennings who, in March,
1907, was appointed as an extra assistant on part time.
A brief summary of the progress of the dictionary cata-
logue and the revision of the catalogue, from June, 1904,
the date when the work was begun, to September, 1907, is
herewith presented.
Classes of books which have been recatalogued and have
now full dictionary cataloguing :
1. All books dealing with literature in general.
2. All books in the class of American literature.
56
3. All books in the class of English literature.
4. All books in the class of Anglo-Saxon literature.
5. All histories of German literature.
6. All books in the class of Italian literature.
7. All books in the class of Spanish literature.
8. All books in the class of Russian literature.
9. All books in the class of Chinese and Japanese and
other minor literatures.
10. The greater part of the collection of Sanskrit litera-
ture.
11. All books in the class of History.
12. All books in the class of Archseology.
13. All books in the class of Travel and Geography.
14. All books in the class of Biography.
15. A small part of the class of Sociology.
In the above classes all books have been revised and re-
catalogued except certain sets of society and periodical pub-
lications which do not need immediate recataloguing. In ad-
dition to this work of revision, all new accessions since June,
1904, have been given full dictionary cataloguing.
Special Funds.
Few special funds were donated during the year 1906-07.
The following special funds were expended:
Sale of books and fines $269.00
Hall Department Library fund 132.25
Special fund from Class of 1902 (income) 25.00
For Semitic languages (gift of Mr. David Scull, Mr.
Justus C. Strawbridge, Mr. Asa Wing and others). 500.00
In addition to the above funds, which were entirely
library funds, a special gift of $500 was made by Miss Gar-
rett for the equipment of the art department, including the
purchase of books. As the greater part of this gift was used
by Dr. Ransom for equipment other than books, it is not
counted as a library fund. Of the total amount of $500,
only $92.27 was spent on art books for the library.
57
Inventory.
The regular biennial inventory was taken in the sum
mer of 1907. By September 30th all classes of the books
had been checked over once, but the final hunting down of
books listed during the inventory as missing had not been
finished at this date. On September 30, 134 volumes were
listed as missing, but this number will undoubtedly be greatly
diminished when the final checking is finished. This pre-
liminary list of missing books is divided by subjects as fol-
lows:
General works 6 volumes
Philosophy 2 "
Sociology 8 "
Philology 8 "
Science (principally books in Dalton Hall) 25 "
Useful arts 6 "
Literature (all languages) 67 "
History, Biography, Travel, Archgeology 12 "
!N"o books were missing from the two classes of religion
and fine arts. The list of books missing in Dalton Hall is
large on account of the difficulty of taking an inventory of
the geological library. In this library it was impossible to
take an accurate inventory owing to the crowded condition
of the room, and books had to be listed as missing here, which
will probably be found when the request of the librarian for
more room for this collection can be complied with.
Circulation.
In October, 1906, the new rules of the Library Com-
mittee placing a time limit on the books drawn out by stu-
dents went into effect. At the same time a very marked
increase in circulation was noticeable. It is impossible to
give the exact increase, as no detailed statistics of circula-
tion had been kept while the library was in Taylor Hall.
When the present librarian first took charge, Miss Lord, the
retiring librarian, stated to her that no circulation statistics
58
had ever been kept because the circulation was too small to
make it worth while.
Although the circulation increased each year, this con-
tinued to be the case while the library remained in Taylor
Hall. As has been stated, no exact statistics of circulation
for previous years are available, but from what data we have,
the circulation was estimated as averaging from 500 to 600
volumes a month.
Beginning October, 1906, exact statistics of circulation
during the college year were kept. These statistics are as
follows :
Circulation Statistics from October, 1906, to May, 1907.
October, 1906 1,865 volumes
November 1,575 "
December 1-18 (18 days only) 1,074 "
January, 1907 1,660 "
February 2,614 "
March 1,852 "
April 1,810
May 1,527
Total for 8 months 13,977 "
This increase in circulation is in reality more striking
than the figures indicate, as in 1906-07 periodicals and
seminary books which had been previously circulated freely
were for the first time restricted.
The very large increase in circulation shown above is
attributed to two causes :
1. The greater accessibility of books due to their ar-
rangement in order in the new building, and
2. The new rule of the Library Committee placing a
time limit on books drawn out by students.
The first of the causes stated above needs no explanation.
Of the second, it may be said that the operation of the new
rule has been such that a book, which under the old rules of
59
the library might be taken out in October and not returned
until the following May, unless specifically recalled, thus
being useless to the college during this time, is by operation
of the new rule returned to the library in two or four weeks,
appears again on the shelves and is available for use by other
members of the college. The following table shows the com-
parative use of certain books selected at random, during the
two years 1905-06 and 1906-07.

Hours of Opening.
From October, 1906, to June, 1907, the library was
open from 8 a. m. to 10 p. m. on week-days, and from 2 to
10 p. m. on Sundays, except during the Christmas vacation,
when it was closed at 6 p. m. on week-days and all day on
Sunday, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day.
The library was also closed on Thanksgiving Day and
for two days during the Easter recess, when the tiled floors
were cleaned and oiled. During the hours when the library
was open there was a library assistant in charge at the loan
desk constantly from 8 a. m. to 10 p. m. From 8 a. m. to
5 p. m. and from 6 to 7.15 p. m. a member of the library
staff was in charge, while from 5 to 6 p. m. and 7.15 to 10
p. m. a student assistant was in charge. On Sundays a mem-
ber of the library staff was in charge from 2 to 6 p. m. and a
student from 7 to 10 p. m. From 10 p. m. to 8 a. m. and
on Sunday morning the stack was closed.
In the reserve book room upstairs a member of the
library staff was in charge from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m. Students
were in charge from 7.15 to 10 p. m. From 6 until 7.15
p. m. and on Sunday all day the reserve book room was closed.
It will be readily seen therefore that long hours of opening
have been covered at the two desks.
Christian Union Library.
In October the library of the Christian Union was in-
stalled in the Christian Union reading room in the new
library building. During the year this library has been
administered by the regular library staff, the shelves and
room kept in order, and books charged and discharged. In
addition to the books which are kept here, books from the
main library numbering several hundred have been sent to
this room during the year and reserved here for use for Bible
class work, etc.
At the beginning of the year, the President of the Col-
lege requested the librarian to take charge of the Christian
61
Union library and to record and catalogue it as a part of
the college library, and likewise directed the librarian, as
this was not work which could be done legitimately in col-
lege time, to have it done in extra time by some member of
the cataloguing department if possible, or some extra assistant
from outside if necessary, the cost of the extra work to be
paid by the Christian Union. It was finally arranged to
have this work done by Miss Sears, who was paid by the
Christian Union. The books of the Christian Union library
were all carefully arranged, classified, and recorded in the
library records and a separate catalogue for use in the Chris-
tian Union reading room was also made. Printed labels to
indicate that the books belonged to the Christian Union and
were to be kept in the Christian Union room were placed on
the books.
New Library.
When the college year opened in October, 1906, the
books in the stack were all arranged and ready for use, the
periodical reading room and the seminary rooms of the south
wing were in order, but the reading room was not quite fin-
ished and the whole of the north wing was unfinished.
Within the first week the reading room was finished and in
use. Temporary quarters were found for the five seminaries
that were to have rooms in the north wing by using the
philosophy seminary for both the philosophical and German
seminaries, the Spanish-Italian seminary for the Spanish,
Italian and Trench seminaries and by placing the Greek,
Latin and English seminaries in the graduate lecture room
on the second floor of the south wing. The professors who
were to have offices in the unfinished north wing were allowed
to use the study room for consultation and office pur-
poses. In this way it was found possible to meet all needs
without feeling any great inconvenience from the delay in
completing the north wing.
In February, 1907, the north wing was finished suffi-
ciently to allow the librarian to move the five seminary libra-
ries mentioned above to their respective seminaries and
62
the rooms were ready for use at the opening of the second
semester. At the same time new shelving made in the col-
lege, shops from plans and measurements furnished by the
librarian was placed in the art seminary, and the building
was practically completed except for certain details of furni-
ture and equipment.
Superintendence.
During the first semester the janitorial force of the
building had not been under the supervision of the librarian,
but at the beginning of the second semester the President
of the College requested the librarian to undertake the super-
vision of this work, as it seemed easier to control it within
the building than from outside. Miss Bessie H. Jennings
was appointed general assistant, partly to help the librarian
with the extra work entailed by this change, partly to cata-
logue the Mary E. Stevens Memorial Library, only part of
which had been catalogued up to this time.
In the spring of 1907 the Librarian was granted leave of
absence for one year for travel in Europe. At the same time
Miss Minnie E. Sears resigned her position as head cata-
loguer in order to travel and study abroad. Miss Mary L.
Jones was appointed Acting Librarian for the college year
1907-08.

' Report of the Director of Athletics and Gymnastics.
To the President : Madam,
I have the honor to make the following report on the
work of the department of athletics and gymnastics for the
year 1906-07. At the beginning of the year the gymnastic
department was entirely reorganised. The revised rules
read:
1. A physical examination of every student is required twice
each year. An annual medical examination by the Visiting Physician
of the College is required of all students taking part in competitive
athletics. Students not examined will immediately be taken off the
sports' list.
2. Any student who is dissatisfied in regard to the omission of
her name from the approved lists for the various sports shall be enti-
tled to refer the matter at issue to the President of the College, who
will arrange with the Visiting Physician of the College for the stu-
dent to consult, at her own expense, a specialist selected by the Col-
lege, to whom the student will be required in every case to present a
note from the Visiting Physician, explaining the circumstances and
asking for his opinion in writing. Such opinion will then be care-
fully considered and will, whenever possible, be accepted as suf-
ficient authorisation for the student to play in the sport she desires.
3. Four periods of exercise must be registered each week by all
resident and non-resident undergraduates and hearers. These periods
may not be taken on the same day. Whole or half periods only
may be registered. Exercise not registered within the fortnight
it is taken will not count, and must be made up. Exercise taken
on Sunday, or during college vacations, or during the time that a
student has an official excuse, will not count. Delinquent exercise,
or making up, exercise, may be taken on the same day as the regu-
lar exercise.
4. Exercise not taken within a fortnight of the required time
will be put on the Delinquent List. Delinquent exercise not regis-
tered within a fortnight will be doubled.
5. At the end of the second semester, i. e., the Saturday before
"finals," every student who has not finished the required periods of
exercise shall pay a fine of $1.00 for each period due, and shall be
required, in addition, to make up double the number of missing
periods within the next two weeks, at the end of which time $2.00
must be paid for each period of exercise unregistered.
75
6. During November four periods of tennis or swimming or
hockey or four drills, and in April four periods of tennis or swim-
ming or basket-ball, or four drills must be registered. From Thanks-
giving to April 1st two drills a week must be registered. Each stu-
dent is excused two drills every four weeks; students not taking
these excuses may count these drills to their credit.
7. Students who have not completed the required number of drills
by the close of the gymnasium season shall be required to make up
the missing drills, and shall pay a fine of $2.00 for each such ap-
pointment for special instruction, until the required number is com-
pleted.
8. No student may enter a class after the door has been closed.
In all classes the regulation gymnasium suit must be worn.
9. Freshmen and sophomores are required to take one period
of heavy and one period of light gymnastics a week, and sopho-
mores may, in addition, take fencing or dancing. Juniors and seniors
may elect light or heavy gymnastics, fencing or dancing, but may
not continue in any class if unable to keep up to the required
standard.
10. Two excuses are allowed every four weeks, and must be
registered on the registration list in the week they are required,
otherwise they are cancelled.
11. Special excuses for illness must be obtained from the Director
of the gymnasium within the fortnight they are required. Excuses
will be given for illness lasting not less than two days only, and
will excuse classes for the current week only, and will not excuse
drills previously omitted, for which, if not made up, a fine must be
paid at the end of the year.
The principal changes incorporated in these rules are
the medical examination of every resident student in the col-
lege, the rules in regard to obtaining excuses for omitting
exercise, and the imposition of fines for failure to do the pre-
scribed exercise. For competitive athletics especially it was
considered important that the condition of the heart and lungs
should be examined by a practicing physician as well as by
the gymnastic department, and that a careful report of this
examination should be kept. A card was drawn up on which
the medical examination of each student could be entered in
each year. It had been the custom for the Assistant to the
President to send information to the Director of Gym-
nastics when a student was ill or for any legitimate rea-
76
son was prevented from attending the gymnasium. It was
found that by this system this information frequently did not
reach the gymnasium early enough for the student to be given
her excuse at the necessary time and that excuses were some-
times duplicated. A card is now filled out by the student at
the time she wishes to be excused and approved and signed by
the Director. This regulation has led to a reduction in the
number of excuses from exercise. During October and No-
vember, 1907, 12 students were excused, as against 56 in
the months of October and November in the year 1906.
In regard to fines for uncompleted exercise the report for
the year 1905 showed the necessity for some penalty for
failure to do the required exercise. During this year 702 peri-
ods of exercise were left undone and 226 drills, one stu-
dent having omitted 51 periods of exercise and 10 drills.
At the end of the second semester of the year 1906-07
no student had omitted any exercise and only one stu-
dent had omitted drills. The four drills which she had
omitted were made up and the fines of $2 a drill for the
drills she had omitted paid. In addition, all the students
who had omitted work in the previous year had, with one
exception, made up the work they had missed. A card of
the following form was used for filing each student'3 gym-
nastic record:

The opportunity to substitute athletic exercise for gym-
nastics through November and April was given to the stu-
dents, since it was found that vigorous outdoor exercise and
gymnastic classes could not be taken on the same day with-
out undue physical strain, and that the outdoor exercise was
at this season of the year as valuable as indoor work.
Fencing and classic dancing, or aesthetic gymnastics,
were added to the general gymnastic course. Both these are
advanced types of gymnastic work, and as the course is com-
pulsory in all the four years of the college course the desire
of the students for more advanced work was recognised as
legitimate. Only one period a week of dancing or fencing
was permitted to be taken.
During the last two weeks in November a light gymnastic
class was held daily for students not substituting athletics.
After Thanksgiving the regular classes began, the "weekly
schedule including four fencing classes, four classic dancing
classes, six light gymnastic classes, five heavy gymnastic
classes. One hundred and thirteen students registered for
fencing, one hundred and twenty-six students registered for
classic dancing. All the sophomores and freshmen are re-
quired to take one light gymnastic and one heavy gymnastic
class a week.
The following excuses were granted in the year 1906-07
on account of physical inability ; four sophomores were ex-
cused from heavy gymnastics, eight freshmen were excused
from heavy gymnastics, and substituted an extra period of
light gymnastics. Three seniors, two juniors, one sophomore,
and three freshmen were excused from all gymnastic work.
The gymnasium was reserved in the mornings for indi-
vidual corrective work for spinal curvature, defective posture,
undeveloped chests, etc. Thirty-eight students were given
special exercises. This work was not compulsory, and was
taken in addition to the regular gymnastic course.
On March 25, 1907, an exhibition in fencing and
classic dancing was given by the seniors and juniors, and a
contest was held between the sophomores and freshmen in
marching tactics, wand drill, Indian club drill, bar bell drill,
78
apparatus work on the horse, parallel bars, and rope climb-
ing. The contest was won by the sophomores, the points
being: Sophomores, 113; Freshmen, 92.
From Thanksgiving to Easter a weekly class was held
for the graduate students, at which there was an average
attendance of twenty.

The Athletic Association completed the new hockey field
and laid out three new tennis courts at the cost of $2,000,
$800 of this being advanced by President Thomas.
Tennis. — The Athletic Association, for the first time,
organised tennis on the same principles as all the other
athletic sports. Class captains were elected who managed a
class tournament held in each class. The captains chose their
class team to enter the interclass tournament, and each cap-
tain entered one player for the college championship. Un-
der this new system greater interest was taken in tennis gen-
79
erally and the tournaments were played off promptly. The
class championship was won by 19 07. The college cham-
pionship was won by A. G. Hill, 1907.
Hockey. — Seventy-seven per cent of the resident under-
graduates played hockey. The upper field was used by the
first teams, the lower field, in bad condition, was used by the
second team. There were nine teams of ten or eleven stu-
dents each, and eighty-five students played on the teams.
The class championship was won by 1907. The captains of
the first teams were : E. Williams, 1907 ; L. T. Sharpless,
1908 ; E. D. Brown, 1909, and E. Denison, 1910. In the
Bryn Mawr games with outside teams the college won four
games and lost one. Twenty-one goals were scored and seven
goals were lost during the season.
Lacrosse was played during the winter, but was not or-
ganised.
The Fencing Club was unorganised, but met for practice
once a week.
Swimming. — The Class Championship was won by
1907. The records were as follows:
140-foot swim on front, 45 2-3 seconds.
140-foot swim on back, 49 2-5 seconds.
Dive for form.
Plunge for distance, 30 feet, 5 inches. .
70-foot swim on front, 20 seconds.
70-foot swim on back, 23 2-5 seconds.
Swim under water, 70 feet.
Three records were broken in the contest: the 70-foot
swim on front, 70-foot swim on back and the under-water
swim.
The class relay race was won by 1910.
One hundred and forty-seven students were authorised
to take swimming, seventy took swimming lessons.
Water Polo. — There were four teams ; twenty-seven stu-
dents played. Interclass games were held and the champion-
ship was won by 1907.
80
Track Athletics. — The Track Meet class championship
was won by 1908. The college championship was won by
A. E. Piatt, 1909. The events and records were:
Fifteen-yard dash.
Hurdles.
Kick — -16 inches.
Rope climb — 12^ seconds.
Running high jump, 4 feet, 2 inches.
Standing high jump— 3 feet, 5 inches.
Putting the shot — 33 feet, 1 inch.
Tug-of-war.
Standing broad jump, 7 feet, 3^ inches.
Three broad jumps, 22 feet, 1 inch.
Hop, step, jump, 20 feet, 2 inches.
Fence vault, 4 feet, 6 inches.
Ping high jump, 7 feet, 4 inches.
Class relay race.
College records were broken in the rope climbing and
three broad jumps.
The world's record was broken in putting the 12-pound
shot.
Basket-Bali. — Fifty five per cent of the resident under-
graduate students played basket-ball. There were eight
teams, seventy-one students playing on the teams. The Class
Championship was won by 1908. The captains of the first
teams were: G. Hutchins, 1907; M. Plaisted, 1908 ; A. E.
Piatt, 1909 ; G. Kingsbacher, 1910.
Skating. — The skating pond was enclosed by a fence,
and no one was permitted to skate who did not carry a ticket.
Tickets were sold by the College to students and members
of the faculty and staff and to students from the schools in
the neighborhood.
Respectfully submitted,
Constance M. K. Applebee.,
Director of Gymnastics and Athletics.

Report of the Attending Physician.
To the President: Madam,
As a summary of the work done during the college year
1906-07, I make the following report:

Appendicitis, neuralgic 1
155
The occurrence of 36 cases of tonsilitis, following a
celebration at which a loving cup was used, suggests the
advisability of ruling out a common drinking vessel on future
occasions of like character.
Again, it is a pleasure to report that one case of chicken-
pox and one case of German measles have been cared for with-
out the appearance of secondary cases. We have continued
rigidly to enforce isolation in the cases of a contagious nature,
and it is rather remarkable that no secondary tonsilitis cases
appeared after the epidemic following the use of the drinking
cup.
Another student was operated on for acute appendicitis
and made an excellent recovery, Dr. Robert G. LeConte hav-
ing performed both the operation this year and the one last
year.
It would seem right in this report to mention the case of
the refusal of a believer in mental science to receive medical
treatment. Her desperate illness with the danger of im-
pending death, led us to rule that in future every student
admitted to the college must submit to medical care and must
report any disability promptly to the warden of her hall.
Yours very sincerely,
Thomas F. Branson,
Attending Physician.

Report of the Visiting Physician of the College.
To the President: Madam,
I have the honor to submit the following report for the
year 1906-07.
I. During the college year, October 4, 1906, to June
1, 1907, seventy patients were cared for in the college infirm-
ary building. The total number of days' care amounted to
385. The capacity (4 beds) was frequently fully occupied,
to the exclusion of other cases necessarily taken care of in
their rooms in their respective dormitories. The total num-
ber of those so excluded was fifty-two. On one occasion
twenty-two cases of tonsilitis were cared for in the halls,
and probably as many more students who should have been
in bed did not report illness because of the lack of possibility
of adequate care.
The classification of Infirmary Cases is as follows
Abscess of ear 1
Bronchitis. 8
Chicken-pox 2
Colds and Influenza 17
Concussion of brain 1
Conjunctivitis (infective) 3

Total 103
The great need of a new infirmary cannot be too strongly
urged. The present building is so utterly inadequate for the
demands of the medical work, and the present methods of
caring for the students when ill so unsatisfactory and ex-
86
pensive, that this whole department is entirely out of keep-
ing with the rest of the college equipment. I trust that the
efforts now being put forth to remedy the evil may be suc-
cessful.
In conclusion I wish to repeat my recommendation of
last summer, that the use of the loving-cup as a drinking
vessel be prohibited. The experience of the year, with the
large number of cases of tonsilitis following such use on one
occasion, demonstrates the danger of the custom.
Respectfully submitted,
Ella B. Everitt j
Visiting Physician of the College.

Resolutions in Memory of Thomas Scattergood, Trustee of
Bryn Mawr College from 189k to 1907 , and Member of
the Board of Directors of the Trustees of Bryn Mawr
College from 1906 to 1907.
Born, October 11, 1811. Died, April 18, 1907.
Minute adopted by the Trustees of Bryn Mawr College
at a special meeting held June 5, 1907 :
Thomas Scattergood was elected a Trustee and Director
May 11, 1891, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Charles S. Taylor.
The loss to the board and to the college has been set forth
on the minutes of the Directors. We, his colleagues, members
of the Corporation, wish to place on these minutes some ex-
pression of our personal sorrow in the removal of one who
has been so long our friend, and some tribute to his character.
He was of an earnest, intense nature, quick in forming
his judgments and prompt in carrying them out, yet courteous
in yielding his own views when the consensus of opinion
of his associates differed from his.
As a companion and friend, he was hearty, sincere, and
genial. Of a grave deportment, by training and habit, his
genuine sense of humor and lively interest in all that went
on around him made his company agreeable and desired.
He was conservative in his own beliefs, but liberal to
those who saw truth differently. His religion was based on a
simple, child-like faith in God, his Heavenly Father, and in
His Son, Jesus Christ, his Saviour. Secure in this love and
trust, he feared no changes which the years might bring, in
forms and formulas.
In this faith he lived and in this faith he died.
To his widow and children we extend our sympathy,
and would commit them to His care Who careth for them.

Minute adopted by the Board of Directors of the Trus-
tees of Bryn Mawr College at a stated meeting held April 19,
1907:
Information was now received of the death of our friend
and colleague, Thomas Scattergood, at Naples, Italy, on the
18 th instant.
Thomas Scattergood was elected a member of the Cor-
poration and its Board of Directors on May 11, 1894,
to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Charles S. .
Taylor, a nephew of Dr. Joseph W. Taylor, founder of the
college, and one of the thirteen trustees named in his will.
He took an active interest in the college— as indeed he
did in everything with which he was connected — an interest
evidenced by his regular attendance at meetings, and by his
close attention to the work of committees, where his business
and financial training and experience made him a much
valued member, and he gave liberally to various college
objects.
His naturally strong and alert mind had been well trained
in Friends' schools in Philadelphia and at Westtown Board-
ing School, and upon this excellent foundation was laid the
education which comes from much reading and study and
constant mingling with men and large affairs, combined with
extensive travel in this country and abroad.
But it was from another and the highest source that his
real strength and power came. His Christian faith was
strong, deep and vital. It governed his life. What he was,
and what good work he did in the world — and he did much —
had this highest inspiration and origin.
This is a great thing to say, and our friend never claimed
great things for himself, but, now that he has gone, the les-
son which his life teaches us may be pointed out. Those
who joined that large gathering of his friends at the Me-
morial Meeting held in Friends' Meeting House, on Twelfth
Street, had much to think of. The occasion itself was unique
among Friends in Philadelphia, and there was the natural
feeling of sorrow and loss which comes over one at such an
hour. But, besides, there was the thought of the meaning of
it all. It is written, "Men will praise thee when thou doest
127
well for thyself/' but those who met on that occasion came
not from such motive, but to pay their tribute of affectionate
respect to one who had tried to follow, however humbly and
imperfectly, the example set before us in the Gospel.
He has fought a good fight, he has finished his course,
he has kept the faith, and we may reverently believe that
the crown of righteousness is his which the Lord, the righteous
Judge, shall give, at that day, unto all who love His appearing.

TWENTY-THIED ANNUAL KEPOKT.
To the Board of Directors of Bryn Mawr College:
The President of the College respectfully submits the fol-
lowing report for the twenty-third academic year of Bryn Mawr
College, from October 1, 1907, to September 30, 1908.
The death of Mr. David Scull of Philadelphia occurred on
November 22, 1907, in the seventy-second year of his age. He
was one of the trustees of whom there are now only two left
originally appointed by the Founder of the College. He was at
the time of his death President of the Board of Trustees and
President of the Board of Directors of Bryn Mawr College. For
nearly a quarter of a century from its opening in 1885 until the
day of his death he had been devoted to the interests of the col-
lege. He held successively, and often simultaneously, the most
laborious offices in the gift of the trustees. He was Secretary of
the Board of Trustees for eight years from 1885 to 1893, Chair-
man of the Committee on Buildings and Grounds for nineteen
years from 1885 to 1904, Vice-President of the Board of Trustees
from 1894 until his absence abroad in 1904, and President of the
Board of Trustees, and also President of the Board of Directors,
from his return in 1906 until his death. Every college building,
except Taylor Hall and Merion Hall which were planned by the
Founder of the College himself, was built under the supervision
of David Scull as Chairman of the trustees' Committee on
Buildings and Grounds. The harmonious arrangement and
architectural beauty of Eadnor, Denbigh, the Pembrokes, Kocke-
feller, and the Library are due in great part to his love of
beauty and to his wisdom in following expert opinion. The
liberal organisation and the sound scholarship of the college
owe much to him. Bryn Mawr has been fortunate in the men
who have served her on her board of trustees, and never more
truly fortunate than in David Scull's service during the first
twenty-three years of her life as a college. In the last appendix
to this report will be found the memorial resolutions adopted by
(11)
12
the Board of Trustees, the Board of Directors, the Faculty, and
the Alumna? Association.*
At the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees held Decem-
ber 6, 1907, Mr. Charles James Bhoads of Philadelphia, Third
Vice-President and Treasurer of the Girard Trust Company, a
son of our late beloved President Doctor James E. Bhoads, was
elected a Trustee and Director of Bryn Mawr College to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Henry Tatnall, men-
tioned in my last report. Mr. Tatnall was elected a Trustee in
1894 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of President Ehoads,
so that Mr. Bhoads now fills his father's seat in the Board. At
the same meeting Mr. Thomas Baeburn White, a practising
lawyer of Philadelphia, at present holding the office of Assistant
City District Attorney, was elected a Trustee and Director to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. David Scull.
Few changes in the faculty have occurred during the pres-
ent year.
Mr. Bobert Matteson Johnston who was appointed Associate
Professor of History to fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
tion of Professor Charles McLean Andrews mentioned in my
last report has filled the position for one year. He was released
by the directors from his engagement with the college in order
that he might accept the appointment of Assistant Professor of
Modern History at Harvard University. Dr. William Henry
Allison, A.B., Harvard University, 1893, PhD., University of
Chicago, 1905, Professor of History and Political Science,
Franklin College, Indiana, 1905-08, Besearch Assistant of the
Carnegie Institution, 1906-08, was appointed Associate in His-
tory to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Johnston's resignation.
Dr. Daniel Webster Ohern, Associate in Geology, was
released by the directors from his engagement in order that he
might accept a full professorship of geology at the University
of Oklahoma. Mr. Chester A. Beeds, M.S., Yale University,
1907, Instructor in Mineralogy and Petrology in the University
of Cincinnati, who has almost completed the work required for
the doctor's degree at Yale University, was appointed Lecturer
in Geology to fill the vacancy caused by Dr. Ohern's resignation.

mended by Professor Charles Montague Bakewell, Professor of
Philosophy in Yale University and a former member of the
Bryn Mawr College Faculty, under whom Mr. Gifford had pur-
sued his graduate studies in philosophy for two years.
Miss Isadore Gilbert Mudge, Ph.B., B.L.S., now away on
leave of absence who has held the position of Librarian of the
College for the past five years resigned her position on account
of ill-health. Miss Mary Letitia Jones, Acting Librarian, was
appointed in her stead. Miss Jones holds the degree of B.L.
from the University of Nebraska, 1885, and B.L.S from the
New York State Library School, 1902. She has filled the fol-
lowing positions: Acting Librarian and Adjunct Professor of
Bibliography, University of Nebraska, 1892-97, Librarian and
Assistant Professor of Library Economy, University of Illinois,
1897, Classifier at the State University of Iowa, 1898, Second
Assistant Librarian, Los Angeles Public Library, 1898-99,
and Librarian, Los Angeles Public Library, 1900-05 ; Director
of the Summer School of Library Methods at the University of
California in the summer of 1907.
Miss Lucy Martin Donnelly, Lecturer in English, was pro-
moted to be Associate Professor of English and granted leave of
absence for the academic year 1908-09. Dr. M. Katherine Jack-
son, A.B. and A.M., Ohio Wesleyan University, and Ph.D.,
Columbia Universit} r , and Instructor in English Literature,
Mount Holyoke College, 1905-08, was appointed Lecturer in
English Literature for one year to conduct Miss Donnelly's work
during her absence.
Dr. Caroline Louise Eansom, Associate in the History of
Art and Classical Archaeology, was granted leave of absence for
the second semester of the academic year 1908-09 in order to
attend the Archaeological Congress to be held in Cairo in Febru-
ary, 1909. Miss Leila Clement Spaulding, A.M., Columbia Uni-
versity, 1901, and Instructor in Archaeology at Yassar College,
14
1903-07, was appointed Lecturer in Art and Archaeology to
conduct Dr. Eansom's work during her absence.
Dr. Nettie Maria Stevens, Associate in Experimental Mor-
phology, was granted leave of absence for the academic year
1908-09 in order to study abroad, and her courses were inter-
mitted until her return.
Miss Katharine Fullerton who has filled the position of
Eeader in English at Bryn Mawr College for the past seven
years was granted leave of absence for the academic year 1908-
09. Dr. Lillie Deming Loshe, A.B., Bryn Mawr College and
Ph.D., Columbia University, was appointed Eeader in English
for one year to conduct Miss Pullerton's work during her
absence.
A full list of other changes and promotions in the faculty
and staff of the college may be found in the first appendix to
my report.
The most important problem now facing the college is
the excess of expenditures over receipts caused by the steady
rise of prices since 1902 which has greatly increased our
expenses and materially diminished our receipts from the
room-rent of our halls of residence and from various col-
lege industries in which the expenditure has been in the
past nicely adjusted to the income. Our salary budget has
steadily and inevitably risen from year to year notwithstand-
ing the decrease in college income, the increase in salaries
alone in the year covered by this report over those of the
preceding year being nearly $11,000. The members of our
faculty and staff, especially the junior members, can no
longer live on the salaries formerly paid. It has become
impossible to make new appointments of the same grade
of excellence without offering much higher initial salaries
than were necessary a few years ago. In our halls of resi-
dence it costs over $3,000 more a year than it cost in 1900
to furnish exactly the same table for the same number of
students. During the current year it has become necessary
to raise the wages of the -maids in all our halls 50 cents a
week, making an annual excess expenditure for wages of
15
over $1,000. These are only a few* instances of the general
rise in prices which has affected almost every department
of the college. From the opening of the college in 1885
until the year 1902, when the increase in the cost of living
first began to be seriously felt, it proved possible by careful
management to keep our annual expenditures within our
annual income. In the year 1902 our accumulated sur-
plus of income amounted to $49,287 which was used by the
trustees to refund the endowment fund of the college for
certain advances from principal made for the purpose of
opening the college for students a year sooner than would
otherwise have been possible. In the college years 1902-03
and 1903-04, the first years of the high prices, occurred our
first income deficits, but in the second year our tuition fees
were increased from $150 to $200 in order partially to
cover the extra expenses. In the following three years
we were able to avoid deficits, but in the year covered by my
report we are again confronted by a very serious shortage
of income, even although the price of students' table board
has been increased by $25 for each student in order to
equalise the actual receipts and expenditures for food.
The increase in the cost of provisions, labor, and mate-
rials has been so great within the past eight years that both
men's and women's colleges have been reduced to sore straits.
Their buildings can no longer be repaired or administered,
their students can no longer be fed, their professors can no
longer be secured and retained for the same expenditure as
formerly. The experience of Bryn Mawr College is the
same as that of all other colleges and universities of high
standing. As long as present prices continue it seems to
be wholly impossible to maintain our present standards of
teaching and academic equipment and our present healthful
physical conditions without accumulating constantly increas-
ing deficits. Unless our private university foundations are
to be generously and adequately endowed only two solutions
seem possible. Either colleges must steadily deteriorate in
efficiency and intellectual power, losing from year to year the
16
ablest members of their faculties as well as their ablest stu-
dents in order to live within their ever narrowing incomes,
or the leading colleges of the country must agree with one
another to charge their students in future what it costs to
educate them. Higher education seems to be almost the only
thing of great commercial, intellectual, and social value sold
at less than its actual cost. As our colleges and professional
schools are wholly unable to meet out of their endowments
the difference between the cost of education and the amount
paid for it they must unavoidably assume a mendicant atti-
tude toward their wealthy graduates and patrons, and by
flagrant underpayment compel their professors, however un-
willingly, to contribute part of the salaries which they should
receive in order to educate by charity students whose parents
are abundantly able to pay for their education. It would
surely be more honest to charge such students what it actually
costs in order to be able to pay college professors living
salaries which should attract into the highest of all profes-
sions well bred men and women of intellect and power, and
use the income of our endowments for scholarships for poorer
students and for additional academic equipment.
The method of meeting the present desperate financial
situation adopted by many colleges for men by soliciting
their wealthy graduates for contributions to make up annual
deficits is not very satisfactory or self-respecting, nor can
it be regarded as more than a temporary makeshift. Under
no circumstances is it an expedient open to colleges for
women. The graduates of women's colleges seldom have
money in their own right and even if they are self-supporting
they make very little more than enough for their own living
expenses. These conditions in women's colleges will prob-
ably continue for a long time. In regard to endowment, col-
leges for women are in a very different position from col-
leges for men. They are one and all inadequately endowed.
"No one of them has a million dollars of invested endowment
apart from moneys invested in land, dormitories, and other
college buildings. Almost all the large fortunes of the
country are in the hands of men, and very few men seem
17
to realise the necessity of giving girls>a thorough college edu-
cation. Even wealthy women have as yet given very little
to women's colleges. Indeed women give to men's education
in memory of their husbands or sons larger amounts than
men give to women's education. Men's colleges also receive
large gifts from their rich alumni for endowment and
buildings.
The great increase in the cost of educating college stu-
dents is being met in so far as men's education is concerned
by a corresponding increase of endowment. How are women's
colleges to meet the similar condition with which they are
confronted ?
It is clear that unless the few people of wealth in the
United States who care for women's college education endow
it liberally, women's colleges will become less and less good.
Parents in the east have begun to send their daughters to
separate colleges for women, and there is, I think, every
reason to believe that they will continue to send them, even
if colleges for women deteriorate. And girls themselves
wherever they have a choice seem to prefer separate colleges,
and will probably continue to prefer them, even if they be-
come less good than co-educational colleges or annexes. Un-
less something can be done soon to put our eastern colleges
for women on a financial basis which will compare favorably
with the endowment of the best eastern colleges for men, our
eastern girls will soon again be receiving an inferior educa-
tion as in the times of Emma Willard and Mary Lyon.
There is now a magnificent opportunity, such as has
never existed before, for endowing women's education. The
leading eastern colleges for women have been in operation as
highly organised fully developed colleges for from thirty-five
to twenty-five years. Throughout this time they have been
well and economically administered at great personal sacrifice
of time and money by their governing boards and faculties.
Their endowments have been so meagre that one dollar has
had to do the work of two. Their governing boards are
IS
experienced in the care of money, devoted to the cause of
Woman's education, and could be trusted to administer endow-
ments to the best advantages. Colleges for women are the
only educational institutions now in existence in the United
States in which women themselves are studying the problems
of education as they affect women. Deeply interested women
alumnse are working on their governing boards, well trained
enthusiastic women professors are teaching in all of them.
Three of the five leading colleges for women, Bryn Mawr,
Wellesley, and Mt. Holyoke are administered by women
presidents and women deans and, though the other two col-
leges, Vassar, and Smith, have men presidents, the manage-
ment of the students themselves and the details of adminis-
tration are to a great extent in the hands of women.
If the governing boards and faculties of these five
women's colleges with the experience they have gained in
the past and the devotion they have proved themselves to
possess for women's education could at this crisis in their
history be given adequate funds, they could study the special
problems presented by women's education, work them out
practically, and reach a wise solution. It is essential that
women, not men, should solve the problems of women's edu-
cation. And women can do this only, I think, in colleges for
women in which they are practically in control. In educa-
tion as in most other things the most powerful influence is
exerted from above downward. An adequate endowment of
the best five colleges for women would probably do more
than anything else to raise and improve all forms of college
and school education for girls not only in this country but
abroad where the education of girls is tending to be con-
ducted on principles and methods worked out in America.
An additional endowment of two millions apiece would,
I believe, enable these colleges to put their educational work
on a thoroughly satisfactory basis, and to continue it on a
higher level than at present for the next half century. Al-
though an endowment of two millions added to their present
endowment, which averages less than a half million apiece
apart from lands and buildings, is small as compared to the
19
endowment of men's colleges, it would be adequate to main-
tain excellent college departments without costly professional
schools such as are attached to men's colleges.
There is only one professional school which should be
maintained by every college for women, that is, a profes-
sional school for the training of teachers. Of all the grad-
uates of Bryn Mawr 43 per cent are engaged in some paid
occupation, and of these 60 per cent are teaching. In some
of the other colleges for women the proportion of teachers
is even larger. The experience of both men's and women's
colleges proves that unless college graduates who expect to
teach are given an opportunity to train themselves in the
science of teaching in the colleges where they study the
greater number of them do not get this training at all. The
college women of to-day will be the most highly paid and
progressive teachers of to-morrow. School teaching is
practically in the hands of women. If we can train these
women college students in the best educational methods we
shall through them reform the teaching of boys and girls in
primary and secondary schools. If two millions of dollars
were added to the endowment of these five leading colleges
for women, at least $500,000 ought, in my opinion, to be
set aside by each college to maintain a professional school
for teachers. In these five training schools women them-
selves could seriously study the problems of teaching in
secondary schools and could train hundreds of young women
teachers to put in practice the results obtained. A great
advance in our present methods of teaching children would
be the immediate result of such college training schools.
It would, it seems to me, be impossible for a great gift
of ten millions of dollars to bring more far reaching and
more enduring returns. Its influence would multiply itself
from decade to decade a thousand fold. Women are the
teachers of the race. They teach their own children in the
home and the children of others in the schools. If the
teachers of each generation can be well taught, the progress
of the next generation is sure. If the endowments of even
a few colleges for women could be made adequate to do this
20
great work, the results of such a benefaction could scarcely
be overestimated.
.. From what I have said it must be evident to everyone
interested in the future of Bryn Mawr that the next few
years must be spent in a determined effort to secure addi-
tional endowment for the college. The original plant of
the college has been more than doubled by gifts for buildings
and equipment in the six years since 1902, a new gymnasium
is now being built, and a new infirmary is already promised
as is explained later in my report. During this time, how-
ever, and indeed since the beginning of the college, not one
dollar has been given for permanent endowment, with the
exception of gifts and legacies to found scholarships amount-
ing to about $40,000 which are not available for general col-
lege purposes. In 1900, the alumnse of the college realised the
pressing need of more endowment and decided to endeavor
to raise an endowment fund of $1,000,000. In spite of their
generous and self-sacrificing efforts they have not yet suc-
ceeded in completing the first one hundred thousand dollars
of this million. In December, 1907, the Board of Directors
appointed a committee to consider the whole financial situa-
tion of the college and to co-operate with the alumnse. This
committee consists of Mr. James Wood, Chairman of the
Committee, Mr. Howard Comfort, Chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee, Mr. Alexander C. Wood, Chairman of the
Committee on Buildings and Grounds, Mr. Asa S. Wing,
Treasurer of the Board, and the President of the College.
The directors passed very few legislative measures dur-
ing the year covered by my report.
The policy of electing two full professors in one subject
was carefully considered, and it was decided that at the
present time it was the sense of the Board that it was inex-
pedient for financial and other reasons to create two full
professorships, or one full professorship and one junior pro-
fessorship, in any single department of the college.
The Senate of the College consisting of all full pro-
fessors who have been in the service of the college at least
21
ten years was enlarged by the addition of Professors Bas-
com, Leuba, and DeHaan. The directors ruled that a year's
leave of absence should be regarded for this purpose as a year
of active service.
The Academic Council of the College, which deals with
the qualifications for the degree of Master of Arts and Doctor
of Philosophy, was increased by the directors from twelve
to fifteen members by the appointment of Associate Pro-
fessor William B. Huff, Associate Professor Carleton F.
Brown, and Dr. Karl D. Jessen, Associate in German Lit-
erature.
A year's leave of absence with an allowance for travel-
ling expenses amounting to one-third of the regular salary
was granted by the directors after seven years of service
to a member of our staff who was not a member of the
faculty. It was decided that this should form a precedent
for the future.
So many requests for permission to be absent from
commencement have been received by the directors during
the year covered by my report, as well as in previous years,
that it became clear to the Board that unless some rule of
procedure were adopted our commencements would be held
without the leading members of our faculty. The working
year of Bryn Mawr College is at the present time shorter
than that of any other college and our summer vacation is
within one week of being four months in length. It is
the sense of the Board that every member of the faculty
and staff should be present at commencement.
The directors voted to assign more work to the Readers
in English, and requested them not to accept in future en-
gagements to teach or lecture in preparatory schools. They
also voted to increase the present salary of each English
Reader by $300 a year.
The directors passed several resolutions affecting the
student body. The rule to the effect that a student who has
not received the grade of merit in as many as one-half the
number of hours she has taken may not take part in college
entertainments, or hold paying positions in connection with
22
the college or executive offices in the Students' Associa-
tion for Self-Government, the Undergraduate Association,
the Christian Union, the League for the Service of Christ,
the Lantern, or the Students' Building Committee was inter-
preted to include the executive officers of the Athletic Asso-
ciation, the captains of the athletic teams, the officers of stu-
dents' clubs or associations whose duties include executive
work, and also the officers of Tipyn o' Bob, the magazine
published monthly by the students. It is essential that
students who are deficient in their academic work should
be protected as far as possible from outside engagements.
The charge of five dollars already imposed on students
taking special advanced standing, deferred, or conditioned
examinations was extended to include examinations deferred
on account of illness, or deferred, or forfeited as punishment
by the faculty. The Board has adopted the principle that
all papers that must be made out separately by the professors
should be paid for by the students who make this necessary.
By vote of the directors, these fines will be added to the
annual appropriation for books.
It was voted by the faculty on December 11, 1907, that
the committee for the supervision of examinations should be
empowered to call into conference if it so desire represen-
tatives of preparatory schools to discuss previous entrance
examination papers, and should also be empowered to invite
to conference the members of the faculty who have set the
papers in question. This is an important step taken by the
faculty, and will in all probability mean in the future closer
co-operation between our examiners and the teachers in the
schools that prepare their pupils for entrance to the college.
The faculty considered during the year the abuses which
had grown up under the auditor system, which has been in
operation since the opening of the college, and on December
16, 1907, passed the following rule: "undergraduate students
may become auditors, (1) by permission of the office in any
course when unable to do full work in that course on account
of ill health; (2) by special permission of the faculty, except
23
in courses specified by the instructors to the office as not
open to auditors, when the necessary time has been gained
by advanced standing credits; (3) by the application of the
rule concerning extended absence from classes ; (4-) at the
discretion of the Petition Committee in cases of students on
probation under the merit law."
As a result of a conference between the Academic Com-
mittee of the 'Alumnae Association of the College, the Presi-
dent of the College, and two members of the faculty, the fac-
ulty voted on May 6, 1908, to permit the Readers in German
and French to hold an informal oral examination for sopho-
mores and juniors in the oral reading recommended by the
faculty to be done during the preceding summer as a prepa-
ration for the senior orals in German and French; and the
faculty further voted that only those students who had volun-
tarily submitted themselves to these informal oral examina-
tions should be admitted to the first oral examination held by
the faculty in November of their senior year.
In consequence of the expulsion of an undergraduate
student in the preceding year on account of having forged
the signature of a member of the faculty in her course book,
the faculty voted on May 6, 1908, that at the end of each
semester each course book should be signed for attendance
with the instructor's full signature.
The new schedule of entrance examinations, extending
the time of examinations from five to eight days, adopted
by the faculty and approved by the directors in the pre-
ceding year, went into operation in the spring of 1908 and
was so seriously criticised by the preparatory schools that
the faculty was compelled to reconsider its action and an-
nounce that a six days' schedule would be arranged for the
examination to be held in the spring of 1908-09. The objec-
tions made were that the earlier date of beginning the exam-
inations interfered with the commencements of the schools
and that it was impossible for pupils taking the examinations
to arrange to give up eight days to them, especially as this
often necessitated their spending eight instead of five or six
days away from home in hotels or boarding houses.
24
It has been a cause of much concern to the scientific
departments of physics, chemistry, geology, and biology that
the number of students electing scientific groups seems to
have- been slowly but steadily decreasing during the past six
years. As it is possible that a contributory cause may be the
lack of punctuality in closing the laboratories at four o'clock
and the confusion in regard to the closing hour on account
of the extra half-hour of laboratory work on every other
Wednesday, the six scientific professors who conduct labora-
tory work agreed, with the approval of the Executive Com-
mittee of the Board of Directors, to close the laboratories
every Wednesday at four o'clock instead of at half past four
and to exercise great care in closing the laboratories
promptly.
The Bryn Mawr Students' Association for Self-Govern-
ment, at a meeting held April 24, 1907, voted the following
amendments to the constitution of the Association, which
were approved by the Directors of the College on May 17,
1907, in accordance with Article XI:
(1) Article V, Section II, 1, to read:
The officers and the other three members of the Execu-
tive Board shall be annually elected by ballot by the Asso-
ciation in the fortnight after the assignment of rooms, and
shall enter upon their duties immediately at the conclusion
of all the elections.
(2) To be added to Article VII, as Section III:
In cases where criminal charge might be necessary, the
Executive Board shall, at their discretion, hand over the
evidence to the President of the College for further action.
(3) Article VIII to read:
Section 1 : There shall be a representative elected by
each hall to act as Head Proctor and to be generally re-
sponsible to the Executive Board for the conduct of her
hall.
Section 2 : There shall be an Advisory Board com-
posed of these representatives together with a representa-
tive of the non-resident students and of the graduate school.
The duties of this Board shall be to advise with the Execu-
25
tive Board at the request of one or more members of the
Executive Board.
Section 3 : The Advisory Board shall be annually
elected by ballot in the fortnight following the election of
the officers and Executive Board, the term of office to be the
following academic year.
As these changes were omitted from the last president's
report and as it seems exceedingly desirable that they should
be recorded I have thought it best to include them in this
report.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors held October
18, 1907, a communication was received from the Executive
Committee of the Bryn Mawr Students' Association for
Self-Government asking for an interpretation of clause 4
of the charter granted by the trustees of the college to the
students for self-government. This clause reads as fol-
lows: — "If when a new matter arises, there is any doubt as
to which of these three provinces of jurisdiction it belongs
and who shall deal with it, the Executive Board of the
Students' Association shall consult with the Dean before any
action is taken by them." This interpretation was made
necessary by the appointment of Miss Marion Beilly as
Dean of the College. On November 15, 1907, the Board
of Directors adopted the following resolution: — "Besolved,
That, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of Bryn
Mawr College, this order of procedure is entirely proper,
but that, as the President is the head of the college, and as
such is held responsible for its government and reputation,
the Board of Directors expects that in all cases of suffi-
cient importance arising under said clause 4, the President
and Dean of the College shall consult together, and the
Executive Board of the Bryn Mawr Students' Association
for Self-Government shall consult with the President and
Dean of the College as circumstances may require." This
resolution was approved by the Executive Board of the Bryn
Mawr Students' Association for Self-Government and was
printed by them as an appendix to the charter in the edition
26
of the Constitution and Resolutions of the Association, which
appeared in November, 1907.
On February 13, 1908, the Students' Self-Government
Association voted to abolish cheering in the dining rooms
of the college. The noise in the dining rooms has always
been a serious problem, and the noise and disturbance made
by the student body in cheering athletic teams, alumnse who
return to dine in hall, and other persons has subjected the
college to serious outside criticism. According to popular tra-
dition, cheering was introduced into the college by the Class
of 1897 in its freshman year. On March 17, 1897, the
President of the College called the attention of the Executive
Board of the Students' Self-Government Association to the
abuse of cheering and in consequence proctors were ap-
pointed at each table to control cheering and other disturb-
ances. Between 1899 and 1901 this rule was changed and
permission to cheer was given only by a member of the
Executive Board of the Self-Government Association. On
November 21, 1902, the first self-government rule on the
subject was made limiting cheering in the larger halls of
residence to ten minutes after the dining room doors were
closed. Stricter regulations were made by the Executive
Board of the Association in 1906 after conferences with
the President of the College, but these regulations were not
obeyed by the undergraduate body. In November, 1907,
the rules which had been disregarded were rescinded and
the regulation of cheering placed in the hands of the stu-
dents of each hall subject to the approval of the Executive
Board of the Self-Government Association. From that time
until cheering was abolished the President and Dean of the
College conferred several times with the Executive Board
of the Association urging the Board to take action and the
President of the College addressed the students on the sub-
ject in chapel. It is a matter of very great gratification that
the student body voluntarily voted to abolish cheering in
the dining rooms of the college because they were unwilling
to continue a practice which was disliked and misunderstood
by the parents and friends of the students and by many of
the alumnae.
27
During the year covered by my report four students
were required to leave the college. One graduate student
and one undergraduate student were sent away by the Presi-
dent of the college in consultation with the physicians in
charge; one undergraduate, a member of the senior class,
was expelled for misconduct on recommendation of the Exec-
utive Board of the Students'. Self-Government Association;
and one undergraduate, a member of the junior class, was
expelled on recommendation of the Senate of the College
for handing in an essay which was not her own.
Miss Helen Strong Hoyt who resigned her position as
Header in English in June, 1907, after having been connected
with the English department of the college for nine years,
offered the Directors $1,000 to found the Mary Helen Ritchie
Memorial Prize in memory of Mary Helen Ritchie. Miss
Hoyt asked that the income of this $1,000 should be used
to purchase a set of the works of Shakespeare each year
to be given as a prize to the member of the graduating class
who in the judgment of the committee of award during the
four years of her college life had seemed most to keep alive
the qualities of joyousness, fortitude, high courage, and
faithfulness. This gift was gratefully accepted at the meet-
ing of the Board of Directors held April 17, 1908, and it
was voted by the directors that the committee for the award
of this prize should be constituted as suggested by the donor
and should consist of the President of the College, the Assist-
ant to the President, the Dean of the College, the wardens
of the halls of residence, the presidents of the three students'
associations — Self-Government, Undergraduate, and Athletic
— the Secretary of the College, and Associate Professor
Lucy Martin Donnelly as long as she shall remain asso-
ciated with the college, and after her death or resignation,
of the teacher of the course in General English, provided
this appointment should meet with the approval of the other
members of the committee.
In my report of last year, pages 35-36, I called atten-
tion to the urgent need of a larger gymnasium. In the
28
spring of 1908 a committee of the Students' Athletic Asso-
ciation consisting of Miss Marjorie Young, the President of
the Athletic Association, Chairman, Miss Cynthia M. Wes-
son, the Outdoor Manager, and Miss Constance M. K. Apple-
bee, the Director of Athletics and Gymnastics, called at my
office to ask to have plans drawn for enlarging the gymnasium
as the Athletic Association wished to begin to beg for the
money necessary for this purpose. Messrs. Lockwood de
Forest of ISTew York and Winsor Soule of Boston were asked
by the Committee on Buildings and Grounds to make plans
for enlarging the gymnasium, but it was soon found that
it was impossible to alter the old gymnasium so as to give
the space needed by the students. Moreover the old gym-
nasium was built in 1884 of red brick in an architectural
style out of accord with the later college buildings and was
intended to be used by only one hundred students and was
therefore totally inadequate, even when added to and ex-
tended, for the needs of over four hundred students. At the
request of the Athletic Association a new building was de-
signed by the architects in the collegiate gothic style of the
other buildings of native gray stone with Indiana limestone
trimmings.
Estimates were obtained and it was found that it would
cost $34,000 to build, light, and heat a gymnasium accord-
ing to the architects' plans. Toward the end of May the
committee of the Students' Athletic Association informed
the President of the College that they had already obtained
$21,000 and appealed to her to help them to obtain the
remaining $13,000 needed. Thirteen subscriptions of $1,-
000 each were given to the President of the College by
neighbors and friends in order to enable the students to

Strawbridge (a second subscription)*, and Mr. Henry II. Col-
lins. Later the Class of 1912 subscribed an additional $800
in order that leaded glass might be substituted for plate
glass in the great windows. The total cost of the gymnasium
when completed will therefore be $31,800.* The dimensions
of the main exercising room will be 90 feet by 50 feet by
22 feet which is large enough for a gymnastic class of one
hundred students and the winter games of indoor tennis and
basket-ball. In order to conform to modern requirements
the new running track will be six feet in width instead of
four feet as formerly. The swimming tank will be preserved
from the former building and will be adequately lighted
by windows along its entire length. Cloak-rooms and wait-
ing-rooms of ample size are provided. A double staircase
will ascend through the tower to a roof garden over the
main gymnasium, 90 feet by 50 feet, which may be used
for class suppers and other purposes. There will be a num-
ber of exits in case of fire. In addition to a large entrance
hall and stairway, double doors will open at the rear of the
main room on the back road; iron stairways will connect
the running track and main room with the basement where
there will be another large doorway. The stairway hall out-
side the running track will open through two doors on the
low roofs on either side of the entrance tower.
The contract, for the new gymnasium was signed on
August 10, 1908, and the contractors immediately began to
tear down the old building. The new gymnasium will be
completed and ready for use in February, 1909.
Of the $21,000 raised by the Athletic Association, $15,-
000 was subscribed by the four undergraduate classes and
their friends and $6,000 by the alumnae of the college.
There was one subscription of $10,000, one of $5,000, one
of $200, one of $125, six subscriptions of $100, six sub-
* This amount was increased to $38,164 by necessary expenditures and
the additional amount, $3,364, was given by Miss Cynthia Maria Wesson, of
the class of 1909. Miss Wesson also gave $7,293 in order to tile the swim-
ming pool and the swimming pool room and to introduce indirect instead of
direct radiation. Mr. Alexander C. Wood and Mr. Asa S. Wing, of the Board
of Directors, also contributed $150 each to the cost of the changes in heating,
and the Students' Athletic Association gave $170 for cementing the basement,
$128 for the trophy room, and $20 for rubber matting and painting.
30
scriptions of sums varying between $50 and $100, fourteen
subscriptions of $50 each, seven subscriptions of sums vary-
ing between $50 and $25, nine of $25, one of $23, seven sub-
scriptions of $20, two of $16, twenty-four subscriptions of
$15, twenty-four subscriptions of $10, forty-four subscrip-
tions of $5, three of $4, six of $3, and many smaller sub-
scriptions.
This is the first time that so large a gift has been made
to the college by the undergraduates. Our sincere thanks
are due to the Students' Athletic Association and especially
to their begging committee for the enthusiasm and energy
which they have shown in originating, planning, and success-
fully carrying through this large and difficult undertaking.
The new gymnasium will be a great addition to the college.
During the year covered by my report the Board of
Directors requested the Directors of the Alumnae Associa-
tion to advance them from the money already raised by
the alumnge for the endowment fund of the college as a
loan the sum of $16,000 in order that in the summer of
1908 the Committee on Buildings and Grounds might add
to and alter Tan-y-Bryn, one of the faculty houses on Col-
lege Hill which was too large for one professor, so that
it might be subdivided into two houses to be occupied by
Professor Lucien Foulet and Professor Carleton F. Brown,
and also build a house on the campus for the Dean of the
College. It was estimated that the alteration of Tan-y-Bryn
would cost $6,000, and that the annual rental of the two
houses would amount to $960 instead of $550 as before, so
that the $410 additional would pay interest on the loan and
meet the cost of the annual repairs, and that the Dean's house
would cost $10,000.
Before requesting the Alumnse Association to advance
$16,000 of their gift for investment in houses for the faculty
the Board carefully considered the whole question of build-
ing houses for members of the faculty and administrative
staff, and the Committee on Buildings and Grounds made a
careful examination of the interest received on money in-
31
vested in faculty houses during, the past twelve years and
reported to the Board that the interest on the investment had
averaged slightly over five per cent, thus comparing very
favorably with other investments made by the Finance Com-
mittee. As a result of the investigation it was voted to inform
the alumna? directors that it is in the opinion of the directors
highly desirable to build houses for the faculty and admin-
istrative staff in order that they may be able to live comfort-
ably and under pleasant conditions on the salaries which
they receive from the college, and that the experience of
the Board in building and maintaining such houses has
proved that it is possible to provide them for the faculty
without lessening in any way the annual income of the col-
lege. The Board of Directors of the Alumnse Association
responded cordially to this request and expressed in their
reply the same point of view. The united decision thus
reached by the Board of Directors of Bryn Mawr College
and the Board of Directors of the Alumnse Association is
very important, as I take it to mean that provided the
necessary funds can be secured the directors will build
houses for the faculty and staff as they are needed.
The directors granted a request from Professor Char-
lotte Angas Scott to be permitted to make additions and
improvements to Gwynfa, the house rented by her from the
college, at a cost not exceeding $2,000, $1,000' to be pro-
vided by the college, and $1,000 by Professor Scott her-
self with the understanding that the rent of Gwynfa should
be increased by $100 a year in order to pay the interest
on the additional cost and cover all possible losses. The
$1,000 provided by the college was also advanced as a loan
by the alumnse directors from the endowment fund which
they are raising for the college. Mr. George Archer of
Baltimore was employed as architect of Tan-y-Bryn and
Mr. Lockwood de Forest and Mr. Winsor Soule as the archi-
tects of the house of the Dean of the College. Professor
Scott acted as her own architect.
The Alumnse Association has therefore paid over to the
Directors of the College for investment in faculty houses
32
the sum of $17,000, as follows: — for the division of Tan-y-
Bryn $6,000 ; for the house of the Dean of the College $10,-
000; for improvements and additions to Gwynfa $1,000.
As it has been decided by the Alurnnas Association that the
first installment of the endowment fund of $1,000,000 shall
be presented to the college as soon as the subscriptions have
reached $100,000, and as this time is now near at hand,
this loan really represents a permanent investment of part
of the endowment fund.
In the spring of 1907 Miss Mary E. Garrett, a Director
of the College, received permission from the directors to
rebuild and enlarge the president's house, the Deanery, at
her own expense, as a gift to the college, according to plans
and specifications approved by the Board, in order to provide
the necessary facilities for college entertaining and also to
provide adequate offices and workingrooms for the President
of the College. This subject was not mentioned in my last
report because the rebuilding was not begun until October,
1907. The work was continued throughout the winter,
spring and summer of 1908 and it was not until September
19, 1908, that it was possible to occupy the Deanery. As
the work progressed much more extensive alterations and
additions were made than at first contemplated because of
the very unsatisfactory conditions found to exist in the orig-
inal building. The house was originally one of three cot-
tages on the property purchased by the Founder of the Col-
lege, and had already been added to twice, the second time
having been partially rebuilt. In view of the fact that these
alterations and additions were made without expense to the
college and were to become its property in the future, the
Board voted not to increase the rent or the charge for light-
ing and heating the Deanery during the occupancy of the
President of the College. The rebuilding of the Deanery
afforded an opportunity to improve the grounds around it
by terraces and an enclosed garden with two fountains. Mr.
George Archer of Baltimore was employed as architect, and
Mr. Lockwood de Forest was called in consultation in mat-
ters of artistic architectural details. Mr. de Forest also car-
ried out the interior decoration. The garden was designed
33
by Mr. John C. Olmsted, of the firin of Messrs. Olmsted &
Olmsted of Brookline, Massachusetts.
In my last report I called attention to the almost unen-
durable conditions and overcrowding in the old gymnasium
which will be entirely remedied in the new gymnasium.
Similar conditions in the college infirmary which I also
called attention to still continue to exist. This infirmary
was originally built in 1887 for a small physical laboratory.
It consisted of only one room, 48 feet by 25% feet by 13
feet in height, without a basement. It has since been sub-
divided into two wards with two beds each, a small nurses'
room, and a bathroom. We are wholly unable to care prop-
erly for students who are ill because of insufficient room.
In one single week of last year there were two students with
mumps cared for by a special nurse in one ward, two students
with measles cared for by a special nurse in the other ward,
one student in the Bryn Mawr Hospital, and one student
taking a rest cure in a private hospital at Rosemont for
each of whom we were paying $25 a week out of our infirm-
ary fund; and in addition to these cases we were caring for
in two separate halls of residence each with a special nurse
two cases of threatened aj)pendicitis, and were isolating, also
with a special nurse in a third hall of residence, another
student with tonsilitis. It was therefore a great gratifica-
tion as well as a great relief to hear from a Committee of
the Class of 1905 which called on the President of the Col-
lege last June that the Class of 1905 had decided to raise
$25,000 for a new infirmary as a gift to the college to cele-
brate their fifth class reunion. Plans for this infirmary are
now being prepared by Mr. de Forest and Mr. Soule, and a
site has been selected by the Committee on Buildings and
Grounds on the lower part of the Cartref property with an
entrance on the Ghilph Eoad which combines everything
needed for an infirmary site — a southern exposure with
sun during the entire day in the wards, private rooms, and
living rooms, wide views from all the windows, four sun
terraces, perfect quiet, and convenient access from the
campus.
34
If the Class of 1905 is successful in raising money for
an infirmary it will be the largest gift ever given to the
college by a single class. The Class of 1901 gave a foun-
tain to the Library which cost $1,000, the Class of 1899 has
raised $1,000 for a clock for the library reading room, the
Class of 1893 has given the sum of $515.83 for the purchase
of books for the English department, and the Class of
1902 has given $500 to the Library as a fund for books. It
will mean a great deal for the future of the college when
the separate classes return each year for their reunions bring-
ing to their alma mater gifts of buildings, library and labora-
tory funds for the purchase of books and apparatus, and
above all, endowments for class readerships, or class associate-
ships or even for class professorships, or endowment for
general academic purposes. Gifts such as these which would
mean only comparatively little self-denial on the part of each
individual member of a class would be of untold value to
the college and would enable it to continue its unique work
for the higher education of women with far more than its
present efficiency.
During the summer the ceiling of the large reading room
of the library was decorated by Mr. Joseph A. Skelly accord-
ing to the plans, and under the supervision of Mr. Lockwood
de Forest. The suggestion of the design was taken by Mr.
de Forest from a beam ceiling decorated with oriental pat-
terns in gold and color in Messina, Sicily. It is modelled
on the geometrical plaster or flat carved wood designs of
the Jacobean gothic ceilings of the period of the library.
The forty-two panels of the ceiling are of a deep red design
on an Indian blue background. The work has been carried
out on the principle of the frescoes of the sixteenth century
in the hope that it may prove to have something of their
permanency. All the beams and cross beams are decorated
with a stencil on blue which forms the background, the metal
leaf forming the ornament. About 100,000 leaves of metal
leaf have been used to gild the beams. In time the metal
will assume the rich tone of old gold. The effect is very
35
beautiful and recalls the painted 'gdthic ceilings, which, were
so much used in English architecture of the time, without
being a copy of any known example. The directors accepted
Mr. de Forest's contract price of $2,500 for this decoration,
but as he was able to complete it for $2,133 he asked the
directors to allow him to expend the surplus in recoloring
the walls of the reading room to tone with the ceiling and
refinishing the panelling and reading desks in a darker color
so as to accord with the memorial teakwood screen, and if
there still remained a surplus after completing these two
pieces of work he requested permission to decorate the walls
and ceiling of the entrance hall. These three pieces of decora-
tion will be completed during the Christmas holidays. The
$2,500 expended in completing the library decoration was
made up of the unexpended balances of the subscriptions
given for the library by the original donors and of an addi-
tional gift from the Alumnse Association amounting to
$485.54, being the surplus subscriptions received from
alumnae for the library building.
Very little other work on the buildings and grounds was
done during the year, as every effort was made to keep down
expenses.
A new office for the Business Manager was made on the
first floor of Taylor Hall adjoining the front door by re-
moving the comptroller's office to the room next to the
bursar's office which has been used as a cloak room for the
women of the faculty. The professors' interview room at
the opposite end of the building which is rarely, if ever,
used for purposes of consultation was subdivided into two
large cloak rooms, one for the men, and one for the women
of the faculty.
A bathroom was added to the suite of the Warden of
Radnor Hall so as to make her suite similar to those of the
other wardens, a student's single room being used for the
purpose.
The Students' Building Committee leased Cartref for
three years and put in two additional bathrooms at the cost
36
of $364.43. They also subdivided the two lower floors into
two flats, and paid half the cost of papering the house.
It will now form one of the three houses' run by the Com-
mittee as the Students' Inn. The Committee also purchased
for $32,500 from the estate of the late Robert F. Kennedy
the house known as Llanberis and about 1*4 acres of land,
adjoining the two college houses Cartref and Dolgelley. This
property has been rented by the college and later by the
Committee for a number of years. The purchase is a very
important one as it protects the college front. Llanberis and
the college properties of Cartref and Dolgelley now form a
continuous piece of land facing Pembroke Hall, stretching
form the Gulph Road to Lombard Avenue.
During the year covered by my report the Commis-
sioners of Lower Merion Township have compelled the col-
lege to connect all its buildings with the township sewer
at a cost of $5,667.84 and to pay an annual sewer rental
of $1,174.68. The President of the College and the Business
Manager met the Commissioners twice and had repeated
conferences with the township engineer in a fruitless attempt
to have the order to connect rescinded, or, if this were im-
possible, the annual rental reduced. We were able to secure
only a twenty per cent annual reduction on account of clos-
ing the halls of residence during the summer.
The directors approved of the suggestion of the Assist-
ant to the President that the college catalogue should be
published by the college in four parts, Part 1, Plans and
Descriptions, Part 2, Register of Alumnae and Former Stu-
dents, Part 3, Graduate Courses, Part 4, Undergraduate and
Graduate Courses, in order to secure the second class postal
rates of one cent a pound. They appointed her the official
publisher of the college publications.
The State Federation of Pennsylvania Women held a
meeting in Taylor Hall on Wednesday afternoon, October
30, 1907, and were given tea in Pembroke Hall. About
500 ladies accepted the invitation of the college.
The Alumnse Association of Bryn Mawr held its annual
37
meeting at the college in February.* After the meeting the
Alumnse Association lunched at the Students' Inn on the
invitation of the college.
The Transatlantic Society of Philadelphia gave a tea
on the Bryn Mawr College campus on Saturday afternoon,
May 16, 1908, to the International Peace and Arbitration
Conference which was meeting in Philadelphia.
The Endowment Fund Committee of the Philadelphia
Branch of the Alumnae Association gave a tea on the campus
on Saturday afternoon, May 23, 1908.
The annual conferring of degrees took place on June
6th, the address being delivered by President Arthur T. Had-
ley, on "The Relation between College Education and Gen-
eral Culture." Eighty-one students received the degree of
Bachelor of Arts. Five students received the degree of
Master of Arts ; all having received the degree of Bachelor
of Arts from Bryn Mawr College in 1907. Four students
were recommended for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
The attention of the directors is especially called to the
full information in regard to the working of the college
during the past year given in the appendices to this report.
The appendices contain a list of reappointments and changes
in the instructors and officers for the year 1908-09 ; a list
of the fellowships and scholarships awarded for the year
1908-09 ; the names of candidates receiving degrees during
the year; a list of the speakers who have addressed the
college ; a list of the college preachers during the year ; the
gifts made to the college during the year; the titles of
the scientific publications of the faculty during the year;
a tabular summary of the courses of instruction ; and reports
made to the President of the College by the Assistant to the
President, the Dean of the College, the Appointment Sec-
retary, the Librarian, the Director of Athletics and Gym-
nastics, the Attending Physician of the College, and the
Visiting Physician of the College.

Statistics of the Freshman Class.
The Freshman class numbered 96, 94 entering in Oc-
tober and 2 in February. Eighty-nine were resident and
seven non-resident.

From the following table it will be seen that the per-
centage of students entering with no conditions continues to
rise.
X. Comparative Table of Percentage of Freshmen Entering
Without Matriculation Conditions, October,
1890— October, 1907.
This table includes only those entering in October of
each year and takes no account of conditions in punctuation
and spelling. Up to 1897 the proportion of students enter-
ing free from conditions to all the entering students, includ-
ing honorable dismissal students, was taken. After 1897 the
46
students who entered on honorable dismissal were not counted
in taking the percentage. It is therefore misleading to com-
pare the two sets of percentages.
In 1890 25.0% In 1899 31.73%
In 1891 22.8% In 1900 38.78%
In 1892 32.0% In 1901 40.52%
In 1893 23.1% In 1902 37.97%

Action of the Merit Law.
On the result of the examinations held in January, 1908,
. one student was excluded from a degree. This student at the
close- of her Junior year in June, 1907, had received a grade
below merit on 59 out of the 120 hours required for the
degree. She was placed on probation under the rule requir-
ing her to take five years for her degree, but she fell below
the requirements for the degree in January, 1908.
One other Junior who was placed on probation in June,
1907, left college, having planned to stay only three years.
After the examinations at the end of the first semester
two students, one having attended for six and the other for
seven semesters, were placed on probation. Both these stu-
dents left college in June, 1908.
After the examinations at the close of the second se-
mester four students, all at the close of their Junior year,
were placed on probation.
The students who remained on probation improved the
quality of their work in a most marked degree, and four who
had remained under the care of the Petition Committee for
two years graduated in June, 1908.
Since the five-year merit rule first came into action for
the class of 1907 twenty students have been placed on proba-
tion, four of these have graduated, eight have left college,
three have been excluded from the degree, and five remain
on probation.
Registration of Attendance on the First Day of Each
Semester and Before and After Vacations.
Students are required to register eight times in the
college year, as shown by the following table, and cases of
failure to register are investigated by the office and reported
to the Petition Committee.

Eeport of the Dean of the College on Illness and Attendance
on Lectures.
To tJie President: Madam,
The following summary is made from the illness cards
which are filled out weekly by the students, endorsed by the
Warden of the hall, and filed in the office of the Dean of the
College. All excuses for non-attendance at lectures and de-
ferred college papers are given from these records ; therefore
the illnesses tabulated represent only those illnesses which
have prevented the students from performing their regular
college work.
Registration of Illness.
Number of undergraduates included in this report, 344.
Number reporting illness, 150, or 43.6 per cent of whole.
Seventy-four students, or 21.5 per cent of whole, re-
ported menstruation as cause for non-attendance at lectures.
To these students the following excuses were given :
One excuse on account of illness, 37 students.
Two excuses on account of illness, 14 students.
Three excuses on account of illness, 12 students.
Tour excuses on account of illness, 6 students.
Five excuses on account of illness, 3 students.
Seven excuses on account of illness, 2 students.
This summary, with the reports of the Attending Physi-
cian, the Visiting Physician, and the Director of Athletics and
Gymnastics, completes the health report for the academic year.
Out of 344 undergraduate students 217, or 63 per cent,
required no excuses from exercise, 194, or 56 per cent, re-
ported no illness excuses for college work.
Attention is called to the fact that in many cases the
same students consulted both the Attending Physician and the
Visiting Physician, so that there are many duplicates in their
lists.
55
Registration of Attendance at Lectures.
The attendance of each student was registered as usual
upon the attendance cards.
For the first semester out of 344: undergraduate students
12 were reported as having no cuts. The total number of cuts
for the whole semester averaged 9.26 hours per student; the
total number of unexcused .cuts averaged 6.9 hours per stu-
dent for the whole semester.
For the second semester out of 346 undergraduate stu-
dents 3 were reported as having no cuts. The total number of
cuts for the whole semester averaged 16.64 per student; the
total number of unexcused cuts averaged 12.42 hours per
student for the whole semester.
The discrepancy between the averages of the first and
second semesters is due to the impossibility of keeping accu-
rate class lists during the first few weeks of the first semester,
when the students have not yet definitely registered their
courses. In considering the rather high average of the second
semester it is necessary to take into account the fact that a
large number of students do not fill out excuse cards when
they are detained from their lectures by a slight illness, and
that they do not always make them out accurately for the
whole period of illness. If allowance be made for these
omissions the average of unexcused cuts falls well below
ten hours a semester per student. This is the usual number
allowed in colleges where a rule requiring regular attendance
at lectures is in operation.
Respectfully submitted,
]\Iaeion Reilly,
Dean of the College.

Report of the Head Librarian.
To the President: Madam,
I have the honor to present the following report of the
work of the Library for the year ending September 30, 1908 :
Accessions.
Number of volumes October 1, 1907 52,859
Number of volumes added:

The accessions of the preceding year were 3,497 volumes,
957 more than the present year. However, the number of
books added by purchase during the present year was 1,711,
against 1,515 the year before, the difference between the two
years being more than covered by the gifts, the David Irons
collection and the Mary E. Stevens memorial library being
included in the accessions of the year preceding, as well
as the entire collection of the Christian Union Library.
A list of donors to the library with the names of the books
presented is appended. This list does not include the books
purchased from gifts of money, these gifts being noted in
detail in Appendix VI.
The Kirk collection on Burgundian history is not in-
cluded in the above statement, nor is the Edmunds collection,
both deposited in the library, but not yet made a part of it.
Mr. Edmunds has added to his collection during the year
until it now numbers :
Bound volumes 297
Unbound volumes 213
Pamphlets (less than 50 pages) 128
Numbers of periodicals 105
Cataloguing.
Titles catalogued 2,458
Cards written 7,792
Seminary cards 67
Continuations 1,594
Naturally the accessions and cataloguing do not run
parallel. Eor instance, the David Irons memorial collection
added the preceding year was catalogued during the present
year. Books bought from the special fund for Semitic litera-
ture have fallen within this year's cataloguing, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the money for their purchase belongs in part
to the receipts of the preceding year and in part to those of
the year to follow.
59
The recataloguing of the year -Fas confined to the clas3
300, Social Science, all of which was completed with the
exception of the general works on the subject and the booka
on law.
Miss Goss, the head cataloguer, resigned September 1st,
and Miss Baker took her place. Miss Bell, assistant cataloguer,
resigned at the same time, and Miss Jennings has been ap-
pointed to the post, although she does not commence her
work till next month.
In addition to the regular staff of head cataloguer and
assistant, Miss Jennings has been employed five hours a day
for eight months as a special cataloguer. We were fortunate,
too, in securing the services of Miss Baker for the month of
August, when she worked with Miss Gross.
The cataloguing staff for the year has numbered one less
than it did in the previous year. When it is considered that
that one is Miss Sears, the most experienced member of the
staff the library has had for years, the work of the cataloguing
department for the year compared most favorably with that
of preceding years, being only 900 volumes and 2,500 cards
less than in 1906-07.
Working continually under pressure it is no slight task
to maintain the necessary standard of accuracy and thorough-
ness while cataloguing as rapidly as desired. As a rule books
are not ordered until they are needed, and the department is
constantly called upon to rush them to the shelves for imme-
diate use. When it is considered that the cataloguing, never
simple, this year included the David Irons collection, the
entire Semitic purchase, and the large accessions in modern
history besides the usual additions, the work of cataloguing
deserves special commendation.
Circulation.
ISTo record is preserved of books issued from departmental
libraries, nor of books used in the halls of residence, nor of
those taken from the reserved book room for use in the reading
room. A record of books drawn from the main library for
home use has been kept for two years, and is interesting
chiefly for comparison. The figures are as follows :
60
1906-07 1907-08
October 1,865 3,387
November 1,575 2,087
December 1,074 1,533
January 1,660 1,741
February 2,614 2,453
March 1,852 2,219
April 1,810 1,699
May 1,527 1,481
Total 13,977 16,600
The loan desk for the past year has been in charge of
Miss Dunn, who served as assistant the preceding year. Miss
Dunn has been most conscientious in the discharge of her
duties at this somewhat difficult post.
There has been a noticeable increase in the number of
students working in the reading room, although no statistics
are kept. The privilege of reserving desks from day to day
has evidently been appreciated. Special attention has been
called to the fact that students may have books of reference
brought to the reading room for use. So far not many have
availed themselves of the privilege. The reference work in
the library sorely needs developing. The books are here, but
no provision is made for assisting readers to use them. With
the present library staff it is impossible to assign any one to
this important work. The teaching staff of the college do
much to assist students, but where classes are large little or
no personal help is possible and it too often happens that
students go through their entire college course, ignorant of
the most ordinary reference books.
A modification of rules was made in June allowing pro-
fessors, associate professors, and associates to take books from
seminary libraries and bound periodicals from the stacks for
periods not exceeding seven days.
Inventory.
The biennial inventory taken during the summer of 1907
was scarcely completed at the date of the last report of the
61
librarian. During the year the list has, been repeatedly checked
with such success that it is more than possible other volumes
will yet be located. It has seemed wise to consider lost and
to withdraw from the records all books missing through two
inventories. This, then, has been done up to 1905, and the
figures given show the actual conditions.
As a revision of the report of a year ago I submit the
following corrected statement.
Of the 71 volumes missing at the close of the inventory
of 1905, 44 have since been found, leaving only 27 that
have been lost for a period of three years or more. In addi-
tion, there were missing at the close of the inventory of 1907,
11 accessioned pamphlets, 10 maps, 32 volumes from the main
and departmental libraries, and 39 volumes from the hall
libraries, making in all 98 bound volumes, 11 accessioned
pamphlets, and 10 maps which are still missing. The books
may be grouped as follows :
1905. 1907.

These small balances have all been closed out, as well as
the regular funds for the year. The special funds, gifts and
incomes from gifts, have been closed, with the exception of
those for Latin and for English drama. Orders outstanding
will clear these up early in the year. There is a balance of
64
$147.17 on the Sale of Books Fund, which balance has been
reserved for the binding of the British Museum Catalogue
early in the coming year.
Building.
A few minor changes have been made in the arrange-
ment of the Library. The magazine room proved inadequate
and the room formerly used as a study room, through which
readers passed to reach the magazines, has been set aside for
the newspapers and the more popular magazines. The doors
between the two rooms were removed, and they are now prac-
tically one room.
In the reading room the open wood fires have added much
to its attractiveness and the open coal fires have made the
seminary rooms in the north wing more cheerful.
In the stack room rubber strips have been laid on the
main floor and rubber tips have been placed on the chairs,
deadening the noise considerably. Curtains have been hung
at the ends of aisles, to protect the books from the direct
sunshine.
The decoration of the ceiling of the reading room has
been completed.
A college book plate has been designed under the direc-
tion of the Library Committee and also a special book plate
to acknowledge memorial gifts of books. This book plate has
been pasted in the Professor David Irons memorial library
and in the books purchased from the income of the gift of
the class of 1902. These book plates are being pasted in all
current accessions.
Hours of Opening.
As usual, the library has been open from 8 a. m. till
10 p. m. during term time, except on Sundays, when it was
open from 2 to 10 p. m. During the Christmas holidays it
was closed at 6 p. m., and on Sundays, Christmas Day, and
ISTew Year's Day all day. It was also closed on Thanksgiving
Day. During the spring holiday it remained open as in term
time, except that on Easter Sunday it was closed until
evening.
65
During the summer vacation the closing hour, as in years
past, was five o'clock, except on Saturdays, when it closed at
noon. An order of the Library Committee directing that it
close at six did not reach the librarian until the vacation
was over.
Members of the regular staff of the library were in
charge of all the desks until seven o'clock, after this hour
student assistants have been employed. The reserved book
room has been closed on Sundays, as usual, and on week-days
the attendant at the loan desk has had charge of both desks
from six till seven every evening.
General Administration.
Few changes have been made in the methods of admin-
istration. The appointment of a regular office assistant has
been the only change on the staff. Miss Wagenhurst, who
had been connected with the library for six years, during five
of which she had charge of the loan desk, was appointed to
this post. Iter duties include most of the typewriting of the
library, the checking and care of serials, the oversight of the
seminary rooms, and the housekeeping of the building gen-
erally. She has been of great service to the acting librarian.
Following the advice of the head librarian, orders for
foreign books have been placed quite generally with G. E.
Stechert & Co., of ISTew York, instead of with firms abroad,
as was done formerly. Miss Mudge had not fully tested the
plan, but a few tests during the year were quite convincing.
In April the order for continuations was placed with the ]STew
York firm. The one gain is in promptness of delivery, this
being due, not to negligence on the part of the foreign firms,
but to the necessity of combining orders to save on transporta-
tion. This delay, added to the continual delays in the cus-
toms offices, proved a constant annoyance. ISTo contract has
of course been made with the ISTew York importers, and we
are quite free to buy in the open market whenever it seems
advisable.
The departmental and hall libraries have been in charge
of fellows of the college, under the supervision of Miss Wagen-
66
hurst. There being no fellows in Geology and Biology, Dr.
Bascom and Dr. Randolph very kindly took charge of their
departmental libraries through the year.
The various changes in the staff have been noted in con-
nection with the statements of work accomplished. It remains
to record the resignation of the Head Librarian, Miss Isadore
Gilbert Mudge, and the appointment of the acting librarian
to the vacancy, which appointment took effect September 1st.
In closing, permit me again to commend the faithful as-
sistance of the library staff, and to thank you for your cordial
co-operation in carrying on the work through a particularly
difficult year.
Respectfully submitted,
Mary L. Jones,
Librarian.

It will be noted that we have had three contagious dis-
eases, measles, mumps, and chicken pox. This does not in-
clude tonsilitis, which I would now class with the contagious
troubles.
The significant point to be made in my report is that on
two different occasions we had three contagious diseases
occurring at the same time, and that our accommodation in
the remodelled and poorly equipped physical laboratory
which now serves us as an infirmary, makes it impossible to
isolate more than two types of contagion. I mention this as
another proof of the crying necessity for reasonable facili-
ties to care for so large a body of students.
It is a source of satisfaction that, despite these condi-
87
tions, we have been able to prevent .any general spread of the
diseases, this being peculiarly true in the cases of measles,
which have been scattered through the year and save in a
single instance due to infection outside of the college.
I am particularly solicitous that the health examinations
in the future shall prevent the admission of a student suffer-
ing from a chronic condition, as has been the case in the
student suffering from bronchiectasis, who has been in the
college during the three years of my service. Though feeling
the deepest sympathy with this student in her earnest desire
for the benefits of a higher education, I cannot feel it wise
to make her one of the student body and thus impose upon
the other students a cause of apprehension and perhaps
danger.
The nurses employed during the past year have been
very satisfactory, and have aided greatly in the preservation
of the best degree of health among the students.
The case of operative appendicitis mentioned in the
medical report was a student who suffered from an attack of
catarrhal appendicitis. She made a complete recovery from
the acute attack, returned to her home in Chicago, and was
operated upon with the advice of her uncle and physician,
Dr. H. B. Favill, who accepted the diagnosis, approved the
treatment, and believed that safety for the future indicated
removal of the source of trouble.
Respectfully submitted,
Thomas F. Branson,
Attending Physician.

Report of the Visiting Physician of the College.
To the President : Madam,,
I have the honor to submit the following report for the
year 1907-08 :
I. During the college year, October 2, 1907, to June
1, 1908, forty-six patients were cared for in the infirmary
building. The total number of days' care amounted to 367.
During the greater part of the year contagious cases were in
isolation, making it necessary to care for other students to
the number of twenty-six, either in their rooms "or in other
institutions. The number does not include the cases of minor
menstrual disturbance.
The classification of Infirmary Cases is as follows :
Abrasions of knee 2
Adenitis 1
Appendicitis 2
Conjunctivitis 1
Contusion 1
Coryza 3
Cystitis 1
Dermatitis 2
Dermatitis venanata 1
Dysmenorrhea 2
Exhaustion, general 2
Fracture of nose 1
Influenza 4
Iritis 1
Laceration of ligaments (knee) . 1
Nervous exhaustion 2
Oclontia 1
Parotiditis 4
Rheumatism 2
Rubeola 5
Shock, general 1
Sprain, ankle 1
89
Tonsilitis . .'. V 3
Ulcer 2
Varicella 1
Total 47
II. The report of my personal work in the office and
dormitories is as follows :
Physical examinations 280
Number of students' visits to office 322
Number of visits to students confined to their rooms ... 17
Vaccinations 81
Total number of consultations 700
III. Tabulation of conditions treated.

IV. Tabulation of students by classes (exclusive of
physical examinations and vaccinations) :
Graduates 22
Seniors 17
Juniors 14
Sophomores 30
Preshmen 27
Total 110
V. The total number of visits paid by nurses to stu-
dents in the various halls, and by students to the infirmary
for surgical dressings, etc., was 1,159. This represents an
amount of work which has been greatly increased by the lack
of proper infirmary accommodations. The work of the nurses
has been efficiently and cheerfully performed, notwithstand-
91
ing the many difficulties and handicaps under which they
labor.
No other need of the institution can be more urgent than
that of a new infirmary. The defects and inadequacies of the
present building do not bear enumeration.
Respectfully submitted,
Ella B. Everitt,
Visiting Physician.

Resolutions in Memory of David Scull, Trustee of Bryn
Mawr College from 1880 to 1&0? ' , and Director of the
College from 1906 to 1907.
Born, January 17, 1836. Died, November 22, 1907.
At an annual meeting of the Trustees of Bryn Mawr
College held December 6, 1907, the Chairman announced the
death of David Scull, President of this body, and the follow-
ing minute was unanimously adopted: —
"Information was now received of the death on Novem-
ber 22, 1907, at his home, at Overbrook, Philadelphia, in the
seventy-second year of his age, of David Scull, President of
this body.
"It is hardly possible adequately to set forth the loss to
ourselves, to the College, and especially to its President. In
the poet's words:
What practice howsoe'er expert,
In fitting aptest words to things,
Or voice the richest toned that sings,
Hath power to give thee as thou wert?-
"David Scull, for a time a student at Westtown Boarding
School, graduated from Haverford College in 1854, and
retired from a successful business life in 1891, although he
continued to take part in the management of some business
and financial corporations.
"He early became interested in the educational work of
Friends, having been a Manager of Haverford College since
1865, Treasurer of the Corporation for many years, and a
liberal contributor to its support. For nearly thirty years
he was a member of the Corporation chartered by William
Penn, having the William Penn Charter School under its care.
"Dr. Joseph W. Taylor, in his will, named David Scull
one of the thirteen Friends who, with their successors, were to
form the corporation, "The Trustees of Bryn Mawr College",
and on the organisation of this Corporation he was chosen its
Secretary, which post he filled until May 10, 1895, when,
being elected Vice-President, he resigned. He served as Vice-
President until the Annual Meeting, December 2, 1904, and
then retired on account of a prolonged visit to Europe. Upon
133
134
bis return, lie was elected President, October 19, 1906. He
also served as Cbairman of tbe Committee on Buildings and
Grounds for nineteen years, from 1885 to 1904, wben be
resigned prior to tbe visit to Europe, above mentioned. Of
late' years, ill bealtb and mucb absence from borne at times
prevented bis taking an active part in tbe management of tbe
College, but neitber ill bealtb nor absence lessened bis interest
in it. It was always very near to bis be art and its welfare
one of bis cbief concerns.
"He was also connected witb mucb cbaritable and pbilan-
tbropic work, and, at one time, took an active part in political
affairs in Pbiladelpbia, as a member of tbe bistoric Com-
mittee of One Hundred.
"He was an Elder among friends, in tbe Montbly Meeting
of Friends of Pbiladelpbia for tbe Western District, and was
a deeply convinced member of our Society, whose spiritual
views of Cbristian trutb appealed strongly to bis mind and
heart. But while a loyal member of bis own Church, bis
spiritual interest and outlook were not confined within its
limits. His sympathies were broad and catholic, and espe-
cially was he greatly concerned and exercised as to the move-
ment and development of modern religious thought. He
pondered much and wrote mucb on these themes :
He would not make his judgment blind,
He faced the spectres of the mind
And laid them.
"In social life, be was a delightful companion; one of
those rare persons who attract to themselves tbe cordial friend-
ship and admiration of all with whom they come in contact.
To him belonged 'the grand old name of gentleman', by
every gracious attribute which clusters around that good
word. Manly and charming in personality, noble in coun-
tenance, gentle in spirit, courteous to every one, alert in mind,
refined in taste, with a keen and subtle appreciation of what
is best in everything, and strong with the strength which
comes from a pure heart, — all this we can say of our friend.
And to this charm of person, this grace of manner, this fine
humour, this crowning favour, of tbe indwelling of God's
Holy Spirit, there was added that final test of a noble soul —
utter unconsciousness of self.
135
"Truly, it was his desire to be among us as one that
serveth. His eye fastened upon the' Great Pattern, his soul
fixed upon the King in His beauty, that which others saw in
him, he did not see. His concern about himself was that he
might be a humble, faithful follower of his Lord and Master,
Jesus Christ, his Saviour.
"The blessing which he coveted, we may reverently
believe to be his : 'Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst
after righteousness : for they shall be filled.'
"In thinking of such men, we are reminded of that Scrip-
ture : 'And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof ; but
he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.' "
Minute Adopted by the Board of Directors of the Trustees
of Bryn Mawr College at a Stated Meeting held
December 20, 1907.
"In the list of officers and directors of the Corporation,
just minuted, one honoured and beloved name is missing.
"David Scull died on November 22, 1907, at his home, at
Overbrook, Philadelphia, in the seventy-second year of his
age. He was a member of the Corporation, having been one
of the thirteen Trustees named by Dr. Taylor in his will. He
was the first Secretary of the Corporation and Board of
Directors, serving until May 10, 1895, when, being elected
Vice-President, he resigned. He served as Vice-President
until the annual meeting, December 2, 1904, and then retired
on account of a long visit to Europe. Upon his return he was
elected President, October 19, 1906. He also served as
Chairman of the Committee on Buildings and Grounds for
nineteen years, from 1885 to 1904, when he resigned, prior
to the visit to Europe, above mentioned.
"We will not enter into eulogy. His memory is secure in
the hearts of all who knew him. We have lost a dear friend
and colleague, and the College an earnest and constant sup-
porter, while its President has met the double loss, either so
hard to bear, of a beloved and faithful, life-long friend, and
of a Trustee devotedly helpful to her in her College work.
"Absence from home prevented him from taking part in
procuring the amendments to our Charter, enlarging the
Board of Directors and providing for alumnse representation
136
upon it, but he was fully advised of the movement, which had
his entire and hearty approval. It is grateful to recall that he
was able to be present at the meetings of the enlarged Board,
and to extend a cordial, personal welcome to each of the new
members.
"May the mantle of his spirit cover us in all our delib-
erations. So, will it be well for us, and for the College whose
interests and welfare we have in charge."
Resolutions passed by the Faculty of Bryn Mawr Col-
lege:

with sincere sorrow of the death on the twenty-second of
jSTovember, 1907, of David Scull, one of the original

from its incorporation in 1880 until the time of his death:
Resolved, That we, the Faculty of Bryn Mawr College,
desire to record our appreciation of his self-sacrificing devo-
tion to our welfare and our gratitude for the wisdom, care,
and insight with which he laboured for Bryn Mawr College

Resolved further, That a copy of this resolution be sent
to his family and to the Directors of Bryn Mawr College.

To the President: Madam,
I have the honor to submit to you a statistical report on
the students of Bryn Mawr College for the academic year
1908-09, and also an account of the regulations of the Direc-
tors and Faculty which were administered through my office.
The entire number of students enrolled during the year
was 420. There were 86 graduate students, including fellows.
The number of graduates was over 20 per cent of the whole
number of students.

X. Comparative Table of Percentage of Freshmen Entering
Without Matriculation Conditions, October,
1890— October, 1908.
This table includes only those entering in October of
each year and takes no account of conditions in punctuation
and spelling. Up to 1897 the proportion of students enter-
ing free from conditions to all the entering students, includ-
ing honorable dismissal students, was taken. After 1897 the
students who entered on honorable dismissal were not counted
in taking the percentage. It is therefore misleading to com-
pare the two sets of percentages.

Action of the Merit Law.
In June, 1908, six students were on probation. Of
these four did not return to college and of the two who
26
remained one was in her second year of probation and grad-
uated in June, 1909, the other was in her first year of pro-
bation, and expects to graduate in 1910.
In February, 1909, a member of the class of 1909 came
under the action of the five-year rule, having a grade below
merit in 56 hours and a grade of merit or over in 51 of the
hours she had been examined on.
In June, 1909, four students of the class of 1910 came
under the action of the five-year rule and were placed on
probation. Two of these were not planning to take a degree
and left college. The remaining two will endeavor to grad-
uate in 1911. Hence four remain on probation, two in the
class of 1910 and two in the class of 1911.
Since the rule came into action for the class of 1907
twenty-five students have been placed on probation ; of these
five have graduated, three have been excluded from the de-
gree, thirteen have left college and four remain on probation.
Registration of Attendance on the First Day of Each
Semester and Before and After Vacations.
Students are required to register eight times in the col-
lege year, as shown by the following table, in order to insure
regular attendance before and after the vacations. Cases of
failure to register are investigated by the office and reported
to the Petition Committee.

Report of the Dean of the College.
To the President: Madam,
I have the honor to present the following report for the
academic year 1908-09. The office of the Dean of the College
has now been in existence two years and the work of the past
year has been more systematised than in the previous year
and its scope more definitely defined. The work has been
chiefly advisory in character and the students have come for
consultation upon all matters pertaining to their college life.
The registration of illness and attendance at lectures has been
kept as usual from the records sent in weekly by the wardens
of the halls and the members of the faculty.
Registration of Illness.
First semester:
Number of undergraduate students included in report,
325.
Number reporting illness, 106, or 32.6 per cent of
whole.
Second semester:
Number of undergraduate students included in report,
324.
Number reporting illness, 122, or 37.3 per cent of
whole.
The details of illnesses are given in the doctors' reports
for the year. Although the actual number of illnesses has
not been appreciably decreased the attendance of Dr. Everitt
or Dr. Thomas at the college daily, except Sunday, has
decreased the severity of the illnesses reported.
Registration of Attendance at Lectures.
First semester: The registration of attendance for the
first semester included 325 undergraduate students. The
28
total number of cuts for the whole semester averaged 10.89
hours per student; the total number of unexcused cuts aver-
aged 8.22 hours per student.
Second semester : The registration of attendance for the
second semester included 324 undergraduate students. The
average of the total number of cuts for the whole semester
was 12.29 hours per student, and of the unexcused cuts 7.64.
These figures show a marked decrease in the average number
of cuts from the second semester of 1907-08. There were,
I think, fewer students in college in 1908-09 who cut exces-
sively.
In addition to the regular college work of the office I
have endeavored to keep in touch with the schools preparing
students for the college. I visited a number of schools during
the year and spoke before Miss Gleim's School in Pittsburgh
and the Misses Shipley's School in Bryn Mawr.
Respectfully submitted,
Marion Reilly,
Dean of the College.

Pennsylvania completed the file of publications already in the
library. The Hon. Irving P. Wanger, Member of Congress
from this district, has responded repeatedly to special requests,
and many public documents have been received directly from
the Superintendent of Documents.
Gifts of money were received to the amount of $2,299.92.
This has been spent with the exception of less than half the
fund for books in German literature and philology, given by

Mrs. Woerishoffer in memory of Mrs. Anna Ottendorfer, and
the fund given by the Class of 1893 in memory of Madeline
Vaughan Abbott Bushnell.
Miss Garrett's gifts for the year have been devoted to
books in English literature of the Elizabethan period selected
by Dr. Hatcher; books on administration for the president's
office ; the British Museum Catalogue of Printed Books with
the Supplement, ninety-two volumes in all, and books in
early English and catalogues of manuscripts selected by Pro-
fessor Brown. To this last subject were devoted the gifts of
Dean Reilly and Mr. Rosengarten, going far toward com-
pleting the file of these important catalogues.
The gift of the Class of 1893 is in the hands of Professor
Donnelly, who selected books on English literature of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries while in England during
last year. These books have not yet arrived.
The fund given by Miss Helen Lee Stevens for the pur-
chase of books for the Latin Seminary was not spent in
1907-08. Prom the accumulated amount was purchased a
valuable phototype reproduction of the Plautus Codex at
Heidelberg.
Cataloguing.
1908-09. 1907-08.
Titles catalogued 2,677 2,458
Cards written 9,305 7,792
Seminary cards 343 67
Continuations added 1,511 1,594
The accessions for the year have been catalogued to date
promptly. The recataloguing has progressed somewhat
irregularly. It has been the plan from the first to recatalogue
such subjects as are being done in the Library of Congress,
thus making use of as large a number as possible of the printed
cards. The following classes have been completed during the
year: 000, 039, 070, 099, 510, 539, 571, 573, 600, 629,
640, 699, 760, 799. In addition several long sets and con-
tinuations in other classes have been recatalogued as the
printed cards were obtainable.
33
The work accomplished in this department has been
most satisfactory. An increased amount of work with a
smaller cataloguing force indicates growing effectiveness on
the part of the general staff. The cataloguing force com-
prises the head cataloguer, the assistant cataloguer, and a stu-
dent assistant who works two hours a day during the college
year. But the entire library staff really contribute to the
work of preparing books for the shelves, from the pasting to
the labeling, and filing of the cards. W.e have been particu-
larly fortunate in retaining in the library the young women
whose main work is the care of the loan desk and the reserve
book room. In addition to their regular duties they both
assist in the cataloguing by copying cards, transcribing call
numbers to the backs of cards, and filing cards, thus con-
tributing to the permanent records of the library.

A gratifying increase in the books taken from the main
stack room is indicated in the above statement. ISTo figures
are kept of Beading Room use of books, nor of use in depart-
mental or seminary libraries. There is no falling off in the
Reading Room use of books. The increase may be at the
expense of the halls. Students prefer to do their work in
the Reading Room rather than in their own rooms, which
means that the reserved book room collection is drawn upon in
preference to the hall libraries. It is impossible to state to
what extent this takes place, as no statistics are kept.
34
During the first semester students were permitted to
reserve desks for their own use, a privilege which did not
work out practically. After the mid-year examinations
reserves were allowed for limited periods only during the
preparation of papers. This modification has proved more
satisfactory.

The Building.
Toward the close of the summer, too late to note the
effect on the general working of the library, certain changes
in rooms were made as follows :
The office of the Dean of the college was moved to Taylor
Hall. In the room vacated was placed the Christian Union
Library. The former Christian Union Library was occupied
by the cataloguing department. In the former cataloguing
room were placed the reference books heretofore in the stack
room. So far as the library was concerned these changes
were brought about to make room for the reference books
38
which have formerly been most inadequately shelved. JSTo
special tables were provided for their use and in some
instances the light was very imperfect. In the present room
there is ample shelf space, table room, and excellent light,
both natural and electric. It is expected that the change will
result in an increased use of these important books. The
dictionaries remain where they were, at the end of the stack
nearer the Reference Room. This location will best serve all
classes of readers. Reference books may still be taken to the
Reading Room and seminaries when needed but the increased
convenience in using them will greatly lessen this demand.
The cataloguing department across the hall from the
Reference Room is farther removed from the catalogue and
the stack than before, but it is hoped the greater convenience
of access to the reference books will compensate for this.
Bibliographical books, used chiefly in selecting and
ordering books, have been moved from their place in the stack
to the Reference Room, where the facilities for consulting
them are much greater. These changes left the office of the
head librarian remote and inconveniently situated at the
opposite end of the stack room, and at the opening of college
an exchange was made with the Semitic Seminary. The gen-
eral administration work of the library will undoubtedly be
facilitated by this change, and it is hoped that the better
lighting will prove an advantage to the Semitic Seminary.
An additional office for the English department being
needed, a portion of the non-resident students' cloak room was
partitioned off and a very attractive room was made avail-
able. A second office for the department of Psychology was
also provided by placing a partial partition in one of the
laboratories.
During the summer the books in the main library, the
seminaries, and professors' offices were cleaned with the
vacuum cleaner. This proved very satisfactory; not only
was the dust removed from the books, but it was taken from
the building, and the books suffered less than in the old way
of cleaning by hand.

Inventory. . -„
At the date of the last report there were still missing
from the inventory of 1905, 27 volumes, two of which have
since been found. Of the 32 volumes missing from the main
library, the departmental library, and seminaries in the 1907
inventory, five have since been found. Of the 39 volumes
missing from the hall libraries at the same time, 8 volumes
have been found, and 11 replaced. These 71 volumes are
still counted as missing, not lost, and have not yet been
deducted from the total number of volumes in the library.
The biennial inventory of 1909 took place during the
summer, and as a preliminary report 77 volumes are noted as
missing. Many of these will undoubtedly be found during
the year. When it is considered that very slight supervision
is possible even of the books in the stacks, together with the
fact that practically no books are withheld from the students,
the loss is small. It is especially significant that from the
thirteen seminary libraries, only 3 volumes, and from the
halls only 26 volumes, are missing. The 77 missing volumes
are as follows :

General Administration.
The staff has remained practically without change dur-
ing the past year, the only changes occurring in the minor
posts of errand girl and assistant in the Reserved Book Room.
Miss Baker, the head cataloguer, first entered upon her duties
two months preceding the period covered by this report. Miss
Jennings, who had served the library during six years as
special cataloguer, accepted a regular appointment as assistant
cataloguer this year. Miss Wagenhurst, to recover from an
illness, was granted a leave of absence from August 1st, her
place being supplied by her sister, who had been connected
with the library several years ago. Miss Dunn, at the loan
desk, and Miss Blackburn, in the Reserved Book Room, con-
tinued their duties. Student assistants for the year, have
been : Miss Mary Eleanor Bartholomew, Miss Elise Donald-
son, Miss Mary Ethel Ladd, Miss Anita Uarda Boggs, Miss
Ruth Anita Wade. With the exception of the last named,
the same students had held these posts for two or three years
each.
As noted before, such success as has attended the work
of the year has been the result of the increased efficiency of
the staff. With the added experience has come an under-
standing of the work and a sense of responsibility which can-
not be too highly commended. The cordial cooperation of
the faculty likewise warrants comment.
41
In closing permit me to thank you for your continued
support and assistance in carrying on the library.
Respectfully submitted,
Mart L. Jones,,
Librarian.

Gymnasium Report.
The new building was not opened until February 2 2nd,

The college is to be congratulated on the absence of any
of the so-called contagious diseases during the entire year.
We may also note with satisfaction that only ten cases of
tonsilitis and three of influenza appear on the list — an evi-
dence that prompt isolation and disinfection are bearing good
fruit.
The small number of casualties in a college of over four
hundred athletic young women proves very conclusively the
very careful selection of healthy and normal candidates.
It would be a great satisfaction and comfort to the
medical staff to feel that a new infirmary was in the course of
erection. Such happy and healthy conditions as have existed
in the past year can scarcely be expected in a growing com-
munity so closely associated with the pleasures and engage-
ments of a large city and in constant communication with it.
Our facilities for managing contagion are very limited and
I would urge upon your board prompt action in providing
suitable accommodations.
Respectfully submitted,
Thomas F. Branson,
Attending Physician.

Report of the Visiting Physician of the College.
To the President: Madam,
I have the honor to submit the following report for the
year 1908-09 :
I. During the college year, October, 1908, to June 1,
1909, twenty-four patients were cared for in the infirmary
building. The total number of days' care amounted to one
hundred and forty-seven, and the number of cases requiring
isolation was fortunately considerably smaller than that of
the previous year.
The classification of Infirmary Cases is as follows :
Abrasions 2
Adenitis 1
Appendicitis 1
Appendiceal colic 1
Conjunctivitis 1
Contusion 1
Coryza 3
Dermatitis venanata 1
Dysmenorrhea 1
Enteritis, catarrhal 1
Exhaustion, general 1
Influenza 3
]STervous exhaustion 2
Parotiditis 1
Rheumatism : 1
Sprains 2
Tonsilitis 3
Varicella 1
Total 24
70
II. The report of the work in office and dormitories is
as follows :
Physical examinations 362
Number of students' visits to office 271
Number of visits to students confined to their rooms or
the infirmary 32
Vaccinations 78
Total number of consultations 743
III. Tabulation of conditions treated.

IV. Tabulation of students by classes (exclusive of-
physical examinations and vaccinations) :
Graduates 20
Seniors 14
Juniors 16
Sophomores 29
Freshmen , 30
Total 109
V. Comparatively few visits by nurses to students in
their rooms were necessary during the year, owing to the fact
that much nursing attention was given in the offices of the
physicians in Merion Hall, these rooms being utilized some-
what as a dispensary for walking cases. The results were a
marked saving of the nurses' time and labor, and increased
efficiency of the service.
VI. The arrangement for daily consultation hours made
possible by having an assistant physician apparently has been
an advantage in the way of prevention. The opportunity to
secure professional advice promptly seems to have resulted in
arresting some cases of illness in their incipiency, and the
general health record of the college for the year is conse-
quently better than the average. Another step in advance pos-
sible because of additional assistance in the department is the
physical examination of all students at least once a year, and
in many instances oftener. This plan enables the college to
have more definite knowledge of the physical condition of any
student throughout her course, and unhealthy processes are
far less likely to develop undiscovered.
The continued use of the offices in Merion Hall has
72
greatly facilitated the medical work, but the inadequacy of
the infirmary still makes the care of bed cases a difficult
problem.
In closing my seventh and last year of service as Visiting
Physician to the College, I wish to express my appreciation of
the cordial support and co-operation of all with whom I have
been associated officially.
Respectfully submitted,
Ella B. Everitt,,
Visiting Physician.

spelling, 4; conditioned in punctuation, 43.
XII. Comparative Table of Percentage of Freshmen Enter-
ing Without Matriculation Conditions, October,
1890— October, 1909.
This table includes only those entering in October of
each year and takes no account of conditions in punctuation
and spelling. Up to 1897 the proportion of students enter-
ing free from conditions to all the entering students, includ-
ing honorable dismissal students, was taken. After 1897 the
students who entered on honorable dismissal were not counted
in taking the percentage. It is therefore misleading to com-
pare the two sets of percentages.
In 1890 25.0 % In 1900 38.78%
In 1891 22.8 % In 1901 40.52%
In 1892 32.0 % In 1902 37.97%
In 1893 23.1 % In 1903 35.29%

XIII. Removal of Matriculation Conditions.
Omitting conditions in punctuation and spelling 98
conditions were incurred:
18 were passed off in November, 1909.
4 were passed off in February, 1910.
21 were passed off in March, 1910.
12 were passed off in May, 1910.
14 were passed off in September, 1910.
Twenty-four were not passed off before the beginning of the
sophomore year. Six students with entrance conditions not
passed off left college during or at the close of their freshman
year.

Action of the Merit Laiv.
In the report for 1908-09 it was stated that in June,
1909, four Students remained on probation, two in the Class
of 1910 and two in the Class of 1911.
The two students in the Class of 1910 graduated in
June, 1910, and the other two remain at college and expect
to graduate in 1911. No students came under the action of
30
the five year rule in 1909-10, and no students were excluded
from the degree. Thirty-six freshmen, fourteen sophomores
and one senior had more than half their hours under merit
in June, 1910, and were prevented from taking- part in any
College entertainments requiring preparation, from serving
as officers of any clubs or associations and from doing any
remunerative work connected with the College.
Since the five year rule came into action for the Class
of 1907, twenty-five students have been placed on probation ;
of these seven have graduated, three have been excluded from
the degree, thirteen have left college and two remain on pro-
bation. Two hundred and ninety-one students have gradu-
ated in the four classes, 1907, 1908, 1909, and 1910. Thus
about 1 per cent have been excluded from a degree and a little
over 8 per cent have been placed on probation.
Registration of Attendance on the First Day of Each
Semester and Before and After Vacations.
Students are required to register eight times in the col-
lege year, as shown by the following table, in order to insure
regular attendance before and after the vacations. Cases of
failure to register are investigated by the office and reported
to the Petition Committee of the Faculty.

Fines.
Fines are imposed for failure to register courses in the
appointed period and for failure to return course books to
the office at the given time at the end of each semester.
In the first semester 8 students and in the second sem-
ester 13 students failed to register during the appointed
period; these fines amounted to $105. Three students handed
in their course books late; these fines amounted to $15. A
fee of one dollar is charged for each change made in the
course after it is definitely registered. Fifty-three students
changed their courses and the fees amounted to $62. This
money is used for the purchase of books for the library.

Assistant to the President.
Report of the Dean of the College.
To the President: Madam,
I have the honor to present the following report for the
academic year, 1909-10. In September my office was moved
from the Library to Taylor Hall. The new office is larger
and more commodious than the old and the work has been
greatly facilitated by the change. A slight change was made
in the advisory divisions for the year. The Assistant to the
President advised one-fourth of every class in college and
I acted as adviser to the remaining 253 undergraduates.
The registration of illness and attendance at lectures has
been kept as usual in my office from records sent in weekly
by the wardens of the halls and the members of the faculty.

The details of illnesses are given in the doctor's report
for the year. Dr. Anne H. Thomas has been in her office
in Merion Hall every day, except Sunday, from four to six.
35
The comparative freedom of the college from any epidemics
was due, I think, to Dr. Thomas's daily, office hour and the
prompt attention given to all cases of illness by Miss Hartwig,
the head nurse.

Report of the Secretary to the Faculty.
To the President: Madam,
I have the honor to report that during the academic year
1909-10 the Faculty of Bryn Mawr College has taken action
in matters not of a routine character as follows :
December 20, 1909. Voted to adopt an alphabetical
order of seating in classes having proctors.
Voted to revise the regulation concerning admission to
collegiate courses so as not to exclude from courses in Science
or in History, students having matriculation conditions in
those subjects.
March 17, 1910. On recommendation of the committee
to select candidates for the graduate European fellowships,
voted that holders of the graduate scholarships for British and
German women should not be eligible for the European
fellowships.
April 2, 1910. Voted to permit Archaeology to be com-
bined with Greek or Latin as a group.
After much discussion, voted to permit Comparative Lit-
erature, a course about to be established, to make a group
with any. modem language provided the department of the
modern language in question assent to the combination.
April 28, 1910. On recommendation of a committee
appointed to consider the question, the Faculty voted to make
no change in the existing regulations as to eligibility for the
two European fellowships open to graduates, as some had
proposed, but to keep one of them for students in the first year
of graduate study at Bryn Mawr College and the other for
students of longer residence.
A recommendation of special conferences concerning the
qualifications of prospective candidates for these fellowships
was tabled.
A committee on the codification of quizzes, after long
consideration of the problem, presented an extended report
and proposed a scheme of systematized quizzes for trial dur-
39
40
ing a period of two years. This scheme with a minor verbal
change was adopted.
The Faculty instructed and authorized its Schedule
Committee to re-arrange the examinations in Private Read-
ing.-
At the request of the department the Faculty approved
the adoption of new requirements in Latin for admission ac-
cording to the plan of the Classical Association.
May 20, 1910. Asked if it would accept a dissertation
written in French the Faculty referred the question to the
Council.
During the year the Faculty also held oral examinations
for five candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy
(A. M. Boring, G. P. Reynolds, L. Dudley, H. H. Nichols,
and E. S. Ogden).
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph W. Wakben,
Secretary to the Faculty.
Report of the [Secretary.
To the President: Madam,
I have the honor to submit the following report of the
work of the secretary's office during the year 1909-10.
The correspondence with the parents of prospective stu-
dents, with the candidates themselves and with the teachers
preparing candidates for the college was done in the secre-
tary's office. Prospective students were advised to apply
early for rooms and applications have been received for the
next seven years and one for the year 1929.
Three hundred and sixty-five students were assigned
rooms in the halls of residence. The quieter single rooms
in all the halls except in Meriori Hall are set apart for
graduate students. One-fourth of all the other rooms are
assigned to each class, so that in each hall one-fourth of
the rooms are reserved for the entering class. All students
have the privilege of retaining their rooms from year to
year. The students who wish to change their rooms draw
by classes for choice of rooms. All upper class students are
assigned rooms for the following year before May. 10th.
The following table shows the number of students in each
hall, December, 1909 :

The secretary's office is in charge of the distribution of
all examination papers. Some of the college examination
questions are typewritten and mimeographed in the secre-
(41)
42
tary.'s office. Examination questions for the larger classes
are printed, but all pass through the secretary's office.
The students register deferred and conditioned examina-
tions at Easter and Thanksgiving and pay their examination
fees to the secretary. The receipts from these examinations
in 1909-10 were $1,387. Applications and fees for the
matriculation examinations are sent to the secretary's office.
The receipts from matriculation fees and matriculation pam-
phlets in 1909-10 were $2,660.22.
The matriculation examinations were held in the spring
of 1910 in twenty-six cities as well as at Bryn Mawr College.
In each centre the examinations were proctored by an alumna
of the college.

Report of the Head Librarian.
To the President: Madam,
I have the honor to present the annual report of the work
of the library for the year ending September 30, 1910.
The following table shows the additions made from
various sources, and the total present extent of the library,
with a statement of the condition of a year ago for the pur-
poses of comparison:

* These numbers represent catalogued pamphlets only. There is also in the library
a growing collection of several thousand pamphlets arranged alphabetically by author.
Pamphlets when bound are withdrawn and again accessioned as books.

These accessions are distributed by classes as follows :
1908-09 1909-10
General works 571 388
Philosophy 173 125

Total 3,260 2,989
A list of donors to the library with titles of the books
and pamphlets presented is appended. This list does not in-
clude books purchased from the gifts of money mentioned
later under the financial statement, nor are these included in
the table of accessions under the head of Gifts and Exchanges,
since the actual buying of the books took place through the
library.
Cataloguing.
1908-09 1909-10
Titles catalogued 2,677 2,126
Cards written 9,305 8,136
Seminary cards 343 414
Continuations, etc., added . . 1,511 1,195
The accessions for the year have been catalogued to date
promptly. The recataloguing has progressed somewhat ir-
regularly. It is our custom to recatalogue first such subjects
as are being catalogued in the Library of Congress, thus mak-
ing use of as large a number as possible of the printed cards.
The following classes have been completed during the year:
839, 540, 570 and 580. In addition several lone; sets and
48
continuations in other classes have been recatalogued as the
printed cards were obtainable.
During the long vacation the entire Sauppe collection
was replated. This involved the transfer of the call number
from the old book plate to the body, of the book, the removal
where possible of the original plate and the pasting in of the
new book plate and. the special plate of this collection. This
involved much trimming and fitting to the various sizes of
books. The expenditure of time and care in the work was
far in excess of the original plating of an equal number of
books.
Binding.
During the past year one of the firms that had done much
of our binding went out of business. After several trials we
succeeded in finding another bindery which is able to do our
binding to our satisfaction. The following indicates the
amount of binding done during the past year :
Volumes sent 1908-09 and returned 1909-10. . 418

Inventory.
No inventory was taken of the library this year, but a
careful search for the books missing one year ago results in
the following:
Prom the inventory of 1905 there are still missing 26
volumes ; from the inventory of 1907, 18 volumes are still
missing in the main library and 17 in the halls. At the close
of the inventory of 1909, 78 volumes were reported missing.
During the year four of the 30 volumes missing from the
main library have been found and nine of the 26 missing from
the halls, leaving 65 still not located. The total number of
books missing from the library at the present date is then 109.
The Building.
The rearrangement of offices and rooms noted in my
last report has been in effect during the past year, and has
proved most satisfactory. The reference room has added
materially to the library as its growing use continually indi-
cates. The rearrangement of offices has likewise proved sat-
isfactory.
The electric clock, installed in the library during the
year, the ornamental bronze dial in the reading room, the
master clock in the stack, and an additional clock in the ref-
erence room, have proved such a convenience that is is hoped
the system may. be extended to the magazine rooms and semi-
nary libraries.
In this connection it may be not out of place to note the
purchase of a small vacuum cleaner which has proved most
satisfactory in the care of the building.
General Administration.
During the past year the staff has remained much the
same as in former years. In December Miss Dunn resigned
and Miss Blackburn was promoted to her post at the loan desk.
September 1st Miss Blackburn resigned, and Mrs. Cassandra
Warner is under appointment for the post for the coming
year. Student assistants for the year have been: Miss Ladd,
Miss Boggs, Miss Byrne, Miss Liddell and Miss Murray.
The fellows have taken care as usual of the hall and
department libraries.
The librarian repeated the lectures on the use of the
library to the students in the autumn. Especial effort has
been made during the year to get into closer touch with the
students. The new reference room has aided, but there
still remains much to be desired. The students do not as yet
make the fullest possible use of the library. The continued
co-operation of faculty, library staff, and the students them-
selves has made the success of the year from the Librarian's
point of view, and I am very glad to acknowledge my in-
debtedness to those whose continued assistance has proved of
such value.
Respectfully submitted,
Mart L. Jones,
Librarian.

The report of office work shows the result of the closer
cooperation of the medical and athletic departments of the
college, made possible by daily consultation hours. Prompt
reports of injury, and a more complete supervision of the gen-
eral physical condition of the students are thus secured.
The very large number of mild cases of pharyngitis,
coryza and allied conditions treated in the office during the
year, together with the relatively small number of severe .
cases needing infirmary treatment, seems to show clearly that
early care, prompt isolation and careful disinfection are of
very definite value in preventing the spread of such condi-
tions.
Should an epidemic at any time occur, we are still with-
out adequate infirmary accommodations.
Respectfully submitted,
Anne H. Thomas,
, Visiting Physician.

Resolutions in Memory of Professor J. Edmund Wright, As-
sociate Professor of Mathematics in Bryn Mawr College.
Bom, 1878. Died, February. 20, 1910.
Minute adopted by the Board of Directors of the Trus-
tees of Bryn Mawr College at a meeting held March 18, 1910 :
Information was now received of the death, on the
20th of last month, of J. Edmund Wright, Associate Pro-
fessor of Mathematics, after a brief illness, in the thirty-
third year of his age, and the seventh year of his work as
a teacher in Bryn Mawr College.
The Board of Directors wishes to place upon its records
its sense of the great loss the College has sustained in his
death, its recognition of his achievement and promise as a
student and as a research w r orker in the field of higher math-
ematics, and its appreciation of his loyal and successful per-
formance of his duties as a teacher during his association
with the College.
Resolutions passed by the Faculty of Bryn Mawr Col-
lege:
Whereas, our colleague, J. Edmund Wright, M.A., of
Cambridge University, Associate Professor of Mathematics
in Bryn Mawr College, has been removed by death :
Resolved, that we, the Faculty of Bryn Mawr College,
desire to record our sense of the great loss that we have sus-
tained in the death of Professor Wright, and our high appre-
ciation of his intellectual power, of the extraordinary alert-
ness and vitality of his mind, and of his widely recognised
ability in research. We desire to record our conviction that
in the early death of Professor Wright mathematical science
131
132
has sustained a serious loss. Further, we desire to express
our recognition of his keen interest in all problems of admin-
istration and of his constant endeavors towards the main-
tenance of lofty standards.
Resolved, that a copy of this resolution be sent to Mrs.
Wright as an expression of profound sympathy.
Resolutions passed by the Graduate Club of Bryn Mawr
College :
Whekeas, in the death of J. Edmund Wright,- Associate
Professor of Mathematics at Bryn Mawr College, the College
loses from its ranks one of its best known professors :
Be it resolved that the Graduate Club of Bryn Mawr
College herewith express to Mrs. Wright, to the Faculty, and
to Mr. James Wright and family, its heartfelt sympathy and
its recognition of the great loss which it shares in common
with them and the College at large.
And be it further resolved that the Graduate Club
leave on record here its cordial appreciation of the work
of Professor Wright during his residence in our midst.
Resolutions passed by the Undergraduate Association of
Bryn Mawr College:
Whekeas, the death of Prdfessor J. Edmund Wright
has filled the whole College with a realization of his brilliant
promise as a scholar, and with a deep sense of grief at his
loss. And
Whereas his death has moved especially his students,
to whom he has endeared himself, and in whom he has in-
spired an increasing admiration for the transcendent power
of his mind :
Resolved, that we, the Undergraduate Association, do
hereby express to Mrs. Wright and to the Faculty our sym-
133
pathy with their sorrow and our gratitude for his unwearied
and effective service in behalf of the scholarly ideals of this
college, and be it
Besolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to Mrs.
Wright, and to the Faculty, and be inserted in the records of
the Association.

XV. Comparative Table of Percentage of Freshmen Entering
Without Matriculation Conditions, October, 1890 —
October, 1910.
This table includes only those entering in October of
each year and takes no account of conditions in punctuation
and spelling. Up to 1897 the proportion of students entering
free from conditions to all the entering students, including
honorable dismissal students, was taken. After 1897 the
students who entered on honorable dismissal were not counted
in taking the percentage. It is therefore misleading to com-
pare the two sets of percentages.
In 1890 25.0 % In 1901 40.52%
In 1891 22.8 % In 1902 37.97%
In 1892 32.0 % In 1903 35.29%
In 1893 23.1 % In 1904 50.00%
In 1894 19.3 % In 1905 54.81%
In 1895 19.0 % In 1906 53.48%
In 1896 21.8 % .In 1907. 56.48%
In 1897 31.8 % In 1908 66.29%
In 1898 26.9 % In 1909 53.00%
In 1899 31.73%, In 1910 53.63%
In 1900 38.78%
XVI. Removal of Matriculation Conditions.
Omitting conditions in punctuation and spelling, 84 con-
ditions were incurred of which 46 were passed off during the
college year as follows:
12 were passed off in November, 1910
3 were passed off in February, 1911
6 were passed off in April, 1911
9 were passed off in May, 1911
16 were passed off in September, 1911
Thirty-eight were not passed off before the beginning of the
sophomore year. Nine students with entrance conditions not
passed off left college during or at the close of their freshman
year.

Working of the Merit Law.
Two students originally of the class of 1910 remained on
probation during 1910-11 and graduated in June, 1911. No
students were reported as coming under the five year rule in
February, 1911. In June, 1911, one student of the class of
1912 received grades which gave her more than 60 hours below
merit and was excluded from a degree. Five other students of
the class of 1912 were placed on probation on the results of
the spring examination and 2 of these have left the college.
Since the five year rule came into operation for the class
of 1907, 30 students have been placed on probation; of these
9 have graduated, 3 have been excluded from a degree, 15 have
left the college and 3 remain on probation. In the five classes,
1907, 1908, 1909, 1910 and 1911, 350 students have graduated.
The number of students placed on probation forms nearly 9
per cent of these classes, about 4.5 per cent have probably
left the college on account of being placed on probation, and
about 1 per cent have been excluded from a degree.
In June, 1911, 33 freshmen and 17 sophomores had received
examination grades below merit in more than half their hours.
Of these, 29 freshmen and 10 sophomores have returned for
the year 1911-12 and are consequently unable to take part
in any college entertainments requiring preparation, to serve as
officers of any clubs or associations or to hold paid college
positions.

Registration of Attendance on the First Day of each Semester and
Before and After Vacations.
Students are required under penalty of having some of their
examinations deferred to register 8 times in the college year as
shown by the following table; this registration is prescribed in
order to ensure regular attendance before and after the vaca-
tions.

Fines.
Fines are imposed for failure to register courses in the
appointed period, and for failure to return course books to
the office fully signed at the required time at the end of each
semester.
In the first semester 8 students and in the second semester
6 students did not register their courses during the appointed
period and were fined $70. Course books were handed in late
by 6 students who were fined $30. A fee of one dollar is charged
for each change a student makes in her course after she has
definitely registered it. Sixty-five students made such changes
in their courses and were fined $85. The above fines amounting
to $185 were expended for books for the college library.

Report of the Dean of the College.
To the President: Madam,
I have the honour to present the following report for the
academic year 1910-11. A number of changes were made
in the work of the office for the year. The tabulation of
attendance at lectures and of cuts on account of illness was
transferred from my office and done in the office of the Record-
ing Secretary, and will be found in the report of the Recording
Secretary. The work of the Bureau of Appointments which
has in the past been done in connection with the Recording
Secretary's office is now done in my office. I have this year
advised all the undergraduates. The freshmen I saw by ap-
pointment once a month throughout the year with the exception
of those students who carried their work so well that in the
second semester they were excused from advisory appointments.
Under the new system of quizzes all students who wished
to be excused from a quiz were required to file a record of
illness in my office. This increased the reports of illness for the
year very largely. The college has been very unfortunate
this year in having a large number of mild cases of contagious
diseases especially in the second semester. On account of
three cases of scarlet fever in the infirmary the college was
compelled to close on March 14th for ten days. This enforced
vacation was substituted for the usual Easter vacation and the
work of the semester was not seriously disturbed. I wish to
mention particularly the cooperation and good will of both
the faculty and students when they were subjected to great
personal inconvenience by the sudden closing of the college.

Report op the Bureau of Appointments.
To the President: Madam,
I have the honour to submit the following report on the
work of the Bureau of Appointments for the academic year
1910-11. The following positions have been secured through
the Appointment Bureau:
Teachers in private schools and in colleges 8
Tutors and temporary positions 13

The above positions have been secured by members of the

A circular letter has been sent to each of the 156 applicants
on the list asking her whether she now holds a position satis-
factory to herself, or for any other reason does not wish her
name kept on the files as immediately desiring a position.
By this means the list of applicants has been further reduced to
44.
This report and the statistics brought down by Dean
Reilly to June, 1911, 1 have completed by adding the candidates
who obtained positions during the months June to September.
Respectfully submitted,

A change in the plan of assigning rooms to undergrad-
uates was made this year. Since 1898 one-fourth of the under-
graduate rooms in each hall have been reserved for each class but
the two upper classes are always so small in proportion to the
sophomore and freshman classes that by this arrangement
it is possible for the seniors and juniors to choose rooms in only
five of the halls, thus leaving each year one hall with no
seniors and often one hall also with no juniors.
Next year a fixed proportion of each class will be in each
hall, the percentage being as follows:

The applications for rooms for students planning to enter
in the autumn of 1911 exceeded the applications for 1910 by
thirty, showing that the halls of residence would be filled for
the year 1911-12.

The average number of cuts per student cutting is 31.5 per year or 15.7
per semester. As the regular number of lectures is 15 per week or 204 in
the first and 207 in the second semester, that is 411 per year per student,
a student who has taken 31.5 cuts per year has missed an average of a
little over one lecture a week throughout the year.

gifts of money mentioned later in the financial statement are
not included in this list or in the table of accessions under the
head of Gifts and Exchanges, because all such books were
bought through the library.
Cataloguing.

Titles catalogued 2,126 2,250
Continuations, etc., added 1,195 1,226
Cards added to main catalogue 8,136 7,503
Cards added to departmental catalogues 414 576
The recataloguing of the following classes has been com-
pleted: 305-306, 342, 549, 560, 820.6, 849. This includes the
greater part of the departmental libraries of botany, biology,
and geology, and practically completes the recataloguing
of the libraries in Dalton. The books in constitutional history
and in Provencal and minor romance languages were finished.
Several long and difficult sets in various classes, passed over in
previous years, have been sought out and recatalogued. Among
these are: Bombay Sanskrit series, 46 volumes; the publica-
tions of the following: Chaucer Society, 140 volumes; Early
English Text Society, 246 volumes; and the New York State
Education Department. All these sets were fully analyzed,
and the addition to the catalogue was considerable.
As the cataloguing staff has remained the same during the
year, the increased amount of work was made possible by the
27
addition of a typewriter to the library equipment. Practically
all cataloguing is now done either by the use of printed cards
from the Library of Congress or by the typewriter. Subject
reference cards, also many series cards, and cards bearing con-
tents are being rewritten on the typewriter for the sake of the
added clearness.
Heretofore, merely the call number of the book has been
written on the book cards. For convenience in tracing books
when out of the library a brief author and title entry is now
being entered. New guide cards for the main catalogue are
also being made ; likewise a systematic revision of cards already
filed is being carried on by the head cataloguer.

The number of volumes taken from the main library
remains practically the same from year to year; the increased
use of the library appearing in the growing attendance in the
reading room, and more especially in the reference room.
During the past year for the first time the attendant at the loan
desk has been trained in library methods and is able to assist
in real reference work. This, with the increase in required
reading felt in the reserved book room, marks a substantial
growth in the use of the library which is not reducible to statis-
tics, nor definite statements for comparison. The change in
28
the location of the loan desk has added much to the facility
of the work.
Of the 342 undergraduate students whose names appear
in the Calendar, only 222 are registered in the library. Of
the 69 resident graduate students, 56 are registered in the main
library, though doubtless others are using the departmental
libraries.

Inventory.
The biennial inventory should have been taken during the
past summer. Owing to the difficulty of carrying on this
exacting work without artificial light, it has been decided to
postpone the inventory till the Christmas holidays, and to
take it at this time thereafter, every two years as formerly.
General Administration.
The principal change in the library staff during the past
year has been the appointment of Mrs. Cassandra Updegraff
Warner to the post of assistant at the loan desk. Mrs. Warner
is a graduate of the Library School of Drexel Institute; and for
the first time this important post has had the advantage of a
trained assistant in charge. The effect on the library generally
is perceptible. With added facilities have come added calls
and Mrs. Warner's time has been taxed to the utmost. As
the library is still without a reference librarian, many of the
inquiries that naturally would be made in the reference room
are made at the loan desk. The faculty, as well as the students,
are depending more and more upon help which the library should
at all times be able to render, and it is with pleasure that I note
that the present staff will not long be able to attend to these
important demands.
Miss Wagenhurst, who has served the library for some
ten years, was obliged to take a leave of absence in February
because of ill health. Miss Josephine Jones, of the class of 1905,
filled her place for the remainder of the college year, and from
September 1st, Miss Marian Price, A.B., Vassar College, 1910,
a graduate of the Library School of the Drexel Institute, 1911,
has filled the post.
The student assistants for the year were Pauline Ida
32
Clarke, Laura Lawrenson Byrne, Agnes Elizabeth Morrow,
Rebecca Renshaw Lewis, Elizabeth Henrietta Johnston, and
Marion Dorothea Clinton.
In order to attend the conference of the American Library
Association which met in Pasadena, May 18-25th, the librarian
was permitted to leave three weeks before commencement.
The library was in charge of the head cataloguer during that
time, and I am glad of this opportunity of expressing my obli-
gation to Miss Baker and to the entire staff for the admirable
way in which the library was conducted during this rather try-
ing month.
Respectfully submitted,
Mary L. Jones,
Librarian.

Report of the Physician in Chief of the College.
To the President: Madam,
I have the honour to submit the following report of the
cases I have attended at Bryn Mawr College from October 1,
1910, to September 30, 1911.
Two students became ill with typhoid fever in the begin-
ning of the college year, having been infected before entering
the college. They were transferred to the Bryn Mawr Hos-
pital and made thorough recoveries, one being able to com-
plete her college year.
On March 15, it was deemed wise to close the college for
a period of ten days, three cases of scarlet fever having appeared.
A senior, a junior and a sophomore, having no work in common,
developed symptoms of the disease within thirty-six hours of
each other. The infection was presumably contracted in rail-
road travel.
Following the re-opening of the college, 3 cases of measles,
3 cases of German measles, 2 cases of mumps, and 8 cases of
infectious conjunctivitis developed in such rapid succession
that the facilities for the care of the patients were entirely
inadequate and pointed more clearly than ever before to the
necessity of providing an infirmary with proper facilities and
equipment.
The surgical work has been minor and insignificant and no
fatalities have resulted during the college year.
